Treasure Island: 120 Illustrations

I loved this edition, the illustrations added a lot and the type wasn't as tiny as some books. GREAT story! One of my fave authors.

There’s a reason certain books have become classics. The cream always rises to the top. Surely, many books were written when Treasure Island was penned, but most have fallen into obscurity. Only the best survive. Treasure Island will keep you on the edge of your seat with its charming sea verbiage, colorful characters, and compelling story. Each turn of the page drives you to the next, and, before you know it, you’re at The End. Written at a level accessible to Middle School or even upper grade Elementary School children, Treasure Island is a book to be enjoyed by adults as well for another 140 years and beyond.

Beautiful book!

I am so pleased with the quality of this reprint. Buying a used copy of the original with the original amazing illustrations is prohibitively expensive. This publisher does the reading world a true service with such high-quality work. Beware other reprints—this classic novel is in the public domain, so unscrupulous and shoddy publishers can get their hands on it and scam people into thinking they’re having anything like the original author’s and/or the classic illustrators’ experience. Be very careful! But you can trust this one.

Beautiful illustrations.

Thank you for a quick delivery. the book arrived in good shape as promised.

It seems ridiculous to be reviewing a classic like Treasure Island, a book enjoyed by millions for 100 years. The writing is beautiful. The sea journey is presented in authentic terms and attention must be paid to all this nautical detail. Suspense is dramatic, and one is anxious to see if the protagonists find the treasure. The only flaw in this story is the failure to reconnect with Jim Hawkins abandoned mother once the voyage is over. The book was intended to engage Stevenson's 11 year old stepson. This book is likely too difficult for children much younger than this.

The NC Wyeth artwork and the type face made me feel like I was reading a work of art.

We are encouraging our nephew into a career in piracy. What better introduction than "Treasure Island"? This edition is lavishly illustrated, important in a book for children, in my view. This is the one, worth every penny, moidore, dollar and doubloon.

Very beautiful book! So appealing that you just want to read it!

I love this book
