Treasure Island

Origin
Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island is an adventure novel narrating a tale of buccaneers and buried gold. It was originally serialized in the children's magazine Young Folks under the title Treasure Island, or the mutiny of the Hispaniola. A traditional coming of age story it is also noted as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality.

Told in six parts the story is about an old sailor, Billy Bones, who entrusts a key to a sea chest to a young boy named Jim Hawkins. It contains some money, a journal and a map. Aside from Hawkins a local doctor, Livesey and the district squire, Trelawny. The later purchases a boat to follow the map and find the treasure. He hired Livesey as the ship's doctor and Jim as the cabin boy. Once the ship is ready to go Jim and Livesey return to meet other crewmen, including Long John Silver a cook and the Captain Smollett. While sailing Hawkins, while hiding in an apple barrel, overhears Silver and the others planning a mutiny. Hawkins alerts the Captain, doctor and squire about it but because they are outnumbered they pretend to not know. Arriving at the island they discover a man, Ben Gunn, marooned there who promises to help again Long John Silver for safe passage home. Soon both groups are on the island fighting, the mutineers and the original crew. Eventually both sides are weakened to the point where a treaty is made, when the treasure is recovered only Hawkins, Silver, Livesey, Grey and Gunn are able to return to England from Treasure Island.
