{"product_id":"treasure-island-9780140437683","title":"Treasure Island","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe quintessential adventure story that first established pirates in the popular imagination \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen a mysterious sailor dies in sinister circumstances at the Admiral Benbow inn, young Jim Hawkins stumbles across a treasure map among the dead man's possessions. But Jim soon becomes only too aware that he is not the only one who knows of the map's existence, and his bravery and cunning are tested to the full when, with his friends Squire Trelawney and Dr Livesey, he sets sail in the Hispaniola to track down the treasure. With its swift-moving plot and memorably drawn characters--Blind Pew and Black Dog, the castaway Ben Gunn and the charming but dangerous Long John Silver--Stevenson's tale of pirates, treachery and heroism was an immediate success when it was first published in 1883 and has retained its place as one of the greatest of all adventure stories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
