Description
While going through the possessions of a deceased guest who owed them money, the mistress of the inn and her son find a treasure map that leads them to a pirate's fortune.
Treasure Island is the thrilling tale of "buccaneers and buried gold." Traditionally considered a coming of age story, it is an adventure tale of fascinating atmosphere, character and action, and also a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality; as seen in Long John Silver.
