Download DescriptionTreasure Island Retold from the Pirate's Point-of-View! When Jim Hawkins, the cabin boy, told (through Robert Louis Stevenson) the story of his adventures on Treasure Island, he only gave one side of the story. Now relive the same events as Long John Silver's crew saw them. When Flint the pirate dies, he leaves his crew a chart of Treasure Island showing where his plunder is buried. But Dick Brown, a young pirate, and the rest of Flint's crew wake up the next morning to find that the mate, old Billy Bones, has stolen the chart and disappeared. Led by Long John, Dick Brown and the other pirates chase Billy Bones across the Atlantic to England, to Bristol, to the West Country. At first the pirates despair when they learn that Jim Hawkins, the Squire, and Dr Livesey have the chart and are preparing to sail for Treasure Island. Then Long John and Dick hit on a crafty plan and soon have signed themselves and their bloodthirsty mates on as the Squire's crew. After a series of hair-raising adventures and twists of fate on Treasure Island, all but three of the pirates are killed; Dick and a friend escape into the jungle, while Long John Silver saves his life by taking Jim Hawkins hostage. Wandering through the jungle, Dick and his friend discover a hidden cache where the Squire has hidden a fortune in silver. The pair would be wealthy beyond their wildest dreams, except for one problem. They are marooned on the island. How they escape years later, forced to leave the treasure behind, how Dick finds Long John, now a wealthy plantation owner with a wife and daughter, how Dick falls in love with Long John's daughter, how the four set sail for Treasure Island never dreaming that the danger and terrors experienced during that first voyage will be as nothing to those that lie ahead, is only the beginning of this epic sequel to one of the world's most beloved tales.
