Young Jim Hawkins and his friends set sail for Treasure Island, hoping to find the buried loot of Captain Flint, fiercest of all the pirates. But, unknown to them, the crew of their own ship is made up of Flint's former crew, led by the evil one-legged pirate Long John Silver. Once on the island Jim and his friends must find the buried treasure and escape before the pirates capture them. Robert Louis Stevensons timeless tale of greed and gold remains the most exciting adventure story ever written.

When young Jim Hawkins meets Billy Bones, he quickly becomes intrigued by the mysterious former pirate. But little does Jim know that their meeting will soon send him on a path of swash-buckling adventure across the ocean in the attempt to track down the treasure marked on a pirate's map where X marks the spot. Treasure Island is an adventure novel by author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold".

The most popular pirate story ever written in English, featuring one of literature’s most beloved villains, Treasure Island has been happily devoured by several generations of boys—and girls—and grownups. The story is told by Jim Hawkins, a young boy who learns of the whereabouts of a buried treasure from the papers of an old sailor staying at his mother’s inn. He shows the treasure map to Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, and the three determine to find it. They fit out a ship, the schooner Hispaniola, hire hands, and set off for Treasure Island. Among the ship’s crew are Long John Silver and some of his followers, who are after the treasure for themselves... The unexpected and complex relationship that develops between Silver and Jim helps transform what seems at first to be a simple, rip-roaring adventure story into a deeply moving study of a boy’s growth into manhood, as he learns hard lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and honor—and the uncertain meaning of good and evil.

It was first published as a book on 14 November 1883 by Cassell & Co.Treasure Island is traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, and is noted for its atmosphere, characters, and action.
