I was a bit surprised about one thing: Treasure Island is not a tropical island. The mysterious and unexplored Skeleton Island just off the mainland was also intriguing. I also thrilled to the wild sea as Jim had his ocean adventure.
My favorite views where from the high plateau when Silver and his company were on there treasure hunt. When they finally got to the island I enjoyed it immensely.
Robert Louis Stevenson starts us off with the introduction of Billy Bones and his ways then slowly ratchets things up with the inclusion of more and more pirates until we are in the pirate adventure that we all signed up for by opening a copy of "Treasure Island". This story is about pirates and is about the magic and adventure surrounding them. The Benbow being fog-enshrouded and remote soon catches my fancy. I really like the Benbow Inn, in general I'm a big fan of inns. And, having done so, I have enjoyed this story immensely. I am an old man now but I have no problem summoning the boy who still lives inside me. This story was meant to be an adventure for boys.
