Adventure
A Great Story Never Ends
More than thirty years have passed since the adventure narrated by Stevenson in his great novel Treasure Island, where Jim Hawkins, then thirteen years old, embarked with Long John Silver in search of Captain Flint’s treasure.
Now Jim has a wife and two grown children, and runs the Admiral Benbow inn just as his parents did. But customers are dwindling, expenses are rising, and the storms battering the coast don’t spare his modest inn. Until, one stormy evening, a troublesome boy shows up, who, upon closer inspection, turns out to be… a girl.
Her name is Thunder, and her father is none other than the old Long John. She has come to warn Jim of an ancient curse.
That same night, Jim finds himself aboard a pirate ship, pushed by a fate that once again takes him far from home…
- The sequels to the most beloved and evocative classics with a modern language.
