Official synopsis Publisher
In the summer of 1881, staying near Braemar in Scotland, Stevenson reported excitedly that he was onto a new story: The Sea Cook, or Treasure Island. Written at the rate of a chapter a day for fifteen days (and completed later in the same year), the novel soon became a classic. An absorbing tale of buccaneers, a map, a romantic quest for treasure, it is also the story of the sea cook of its original title – the brilliantly drawn Long John Silver, that ‘smooth and formidable adventurer’ of whom Stevenson was rightly proud and for whom even he felt a little admiration.
