Treasure Island

When a mysterious sailor rents a room at the Admiral Benbow Inn, the innkeeper’s son, Jim Hawkins, becomes embroiled in the bloody, thrilling world of piracy. Armed only with a map to the infamous Captain Flint’s treasure, Jim and his ragtag companions set sail for the adventure of a lifetime. Treasure Island is perhaps the most influential pirate novel of all time, popularizing the genre’s mainstays: peg-legged pirates and maps where ‘X’ marks the spot.
