Treasure Island Stevenson Robert Louis (2009)

This beautiful hardcover edition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic forms part of Penguin’s Clothbound Classics series, designed by award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. It is bound in colourful, tactile cloth with a foil-stamped design. The story grew from a treasure map devised by Stevenson and his nephew during a holiday in Scotland. Adventurous Jim Hawkins obtains the map and sets off with an adult crew to find the buried treasure, but the treacherous Long John Silver intends to keep it for himself. Stevenson’s first full-length work of fiction brought him immediate fame and continues to captivate readers of all ages.
