About this book

Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story was originally serialised in the children's magazine Young Folks under the title The Sea Cook over a period of several months from 1881-82.

Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, Treasure Island is the classic pirate tale, known for its superb atmosphere, character and action. It is one of the most frequently dramatised of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perception of pirates is vast, including treasure maps with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen with parrots on their shoulders. 

First Edition Identification

Treasure Island was first published as a book by Cassell and Company of London in 1883. First editions have 1883 as the year of publication on the title page with the copyright page left blank. First editions also contain multiple points of issue, including (but not limited to): "Dead Man’s Chest" is uncapitalized on pages 2 and 7, “rain” instead of “vain” in the last line of pg. 40, the “7” is missing from the pagination on pg. 127, "worse" for "worst" in the third line of pg. 197.
