I read the "Jr." version of this as a kid and enjoyed it again as a 40 year old... I'm looking forward to reading this, a chapter a night, to my son & daughter when they're a little older. ( )

Obviously a great story. Fantastic illustrations by John Lawrence. The printing of this book is quite poor; the richness of the original images-that I saw in the gallery from where I purchased the book-had much more life. The blackness of the prints should be much darker than the washed out versions. I would have rather paid more for a well printed book and to have seen the illustrations match the originals. That said, I bought it and enjoyed it. Apart from the printing, the book is well designed and set.

One of my favorite books of all time. This is the standard in adventure novels and for good reason. Every young boy and girl should read this book. ( )

The shortest form of this book which I have ever read. The classic story about pirates, treasures on an uninhabited island, adventures. The first time I read this story I was 10, right now I've gone back to this book to improve my English, but I prefer the whole story, so I hope- I'll read it soon. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
To S.L.O;, an American gentleman, in accordance with whose classic taste the following narrative has been designed, it is now, in return for numerous delightful hours, and with kindest wishes, dedicated by his affectionate friend, THE AUTHOR.
First words
Squire Trelawny, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace 17--, and go back to the time when my father kept the "Admiral Benbow" inn, and the brown old seaman, with the sabre cut, first took up his lodging under our roof.
