Description

A mysterious map. A buried fortune. A voyage filled with danger, deception and mutiny.

When young Jim Hawkins discovers a treasure map among the belongings of a dead pirate, he is drawn into an extraordinary adventure across the high seas. Aboard the schooner Hispaniola, Jim finds himself surrounded by a memorable crew of sailors, gentlemen and secret buccaneers. At their centre is Long John Silver: charming, cunning and one of literature’s most unforgettable villains.
