Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, Treasure Island is an adventure tale known for its atmosphere, characters and action, and also as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality — as seen in Long John Silver — unusual for children's literature then and now. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perceptions of pirates is enormous, including treasure maps marked with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen carrying parrots on their shoulders
I remember as if it were yesterday. Astounded how familiar this was and I first read it about sixty years ago. The apple barrel and the Captain Billy Bones arriving at the Admiral Benbow inn were as vivid as all those years ago. A truly gifted storyteller.
