Summary:
The story is told in the first person by Jim Hawkins, whose mother kept the Admiral Benbow Inn, and who joined in the adventures from start to finish. One day, an old sea man comes to this peaceful inn who is intending to finish his life there. He hires Jim to keep a watch out for other sailors but despite all precautions, he is found out and served with the black spot that means death. Jim and his mother barely escape death when Blind Pew, Black Dog, and other pirates came to the inn to search the sea man’s papers. When Jim and his mother were forced to retreat from the inn, Jim robs a packet of papers to take back the sailor’s debt. The packet contains a map showing the location of the pirate Flint’s buried treasure, which Jim, Doctor Livesey, and Squire Trelawney determine to find. Preparing a ship, they hire employees and set out on their adventure. Unfortunately, their crew includes one-legged Long John Silver, a pirate also in search of the treasure, and a number of his company. Jim, hidden in an apple barrel, overhears the plans of the crew to resist, and he warns his party. The battle between the pirates and Jim’s party is an exciting and bloody one, which is taking place both on the island and aboard ship. Jim escapes from the ship, discovers the marooned sailor, Ben Gunn, who has already found and cached the treasure, and finally Jim’s party and Ben Gunn get safely aboard the ship with the treasure.

This story is very wonderful. I was absorbed in reading this book. I think that I can not taste the development of the story which draws people easily. Jim’s adventure is very exciting. You should read this book once!
