This edition of Treasure Island includes a Foreword, Biographical Note, and Afterword by Jane Yolen.
A mysterious seaman hides at a country inn; cut-throats raid a sleepy English village; suddenly, young Jim Hawkins becomes the owner of a map leading to a lost tropical island and a fortune in stolen gold. Three adventures--Jim, Squire Trelawney, and Dr. Livesey--set out to find the treasure.
But they trust the one they should most fear, Long John Silver. Charming, brave ruthless, murderous, Silver fills the squire's ship with pirates. And on the desolate, fever-infested island, the quest for gold becomes a deadly war of hide and seek. Desperate defenders against merciless killers battling over a cursed treasure won with blood, buried with blood, sought with blood. Incredible wealth that Jim and his friends can only claim...

Climb aboard for the swashbuckling adventure of a lifetime. Treasure Islandhas enthralled (and caused slight seasickness) for decades. The names Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins are destined to remain pieces of folklore for as long as children want to read Robert Louis Stevenson's most famous book. With it's dastardly plot and motley crew of rogues and villains, it seems unlikely that children will ever say no to this timeless classic.

From School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up-The archetypal sea-faring adventure story is given another rousing and dramatic rendition in this quickly paced abridged entry in Hodder's top-flight Classic Collection series. The critical plot and subplot threads have been beautifully retained, and all the classic lines like "shiver me timbers" have been included. Stalwart English actor Richard Griffiths handles the bulk of the narrative chores flawlessly and is particularly effective in his pacing. He is capably assisted by Gareth Armstrong who, inexplicably, is uncredited on the cassette case. The subtle use of occasional sound effects such as gulls, lapping waves, and cannon and gunshot enhances this superb version of Stevenson's masterpiece. All collections should make room for this fine work.

好久没有看过这么畅快的一本书,盯着看,追着看,要不是看书慢又实在扛不住熬夜的难受,一定会一口气看完。不过,最终也只花了两口气看完了它。这本书再次证实了:一看书就犯困真的不能怪我,那是书还不够吸引人。 喜欢这本书讲故事就只是讲故事,而并不非得讲个什么道理,例...
评分 评分98年11月1版 08年6月11刷 这本书和<书虫>系列其它书有一点有很大不同,那就是这本书的注释带音标。这是到目前为止我看过60多本书虫中唯一的一本。当然,也不是所有单词都有音标。 我不知道带音标是好还是不好,只是看它有点特别。我自己看过这么多不带音标的已经习惯了。 下...
评分很不错的一本书,我说不错,是因为,简洁朴素的语言却让我感受到大海的气息,感受到每一个场景,海上独有的风光,不管是日出日落,不管是骄阳的中午和静谧的黄昏,更或者是暴风雨的海上,还有海员变为海盗后的战争。 喜欢与宝藏有关的电影和书籍,也许是喜欢幻想吧。
评分花了两个晚上把世界名著《金银岛》重温了一遍。这是一个讲述了一位聪明、勇敢的小男孩(也就是我们的男主)在机缘巧合的情况下得到藏宝图,并与一群大人去寻宝冒险的故事。 整个故事分为上下两个部分,第一部分讲男主如何得到藏宝图。故事从海边一个平静的小旅馆讲起,然后有...
