Why we chose it
Treasure Island is a classic children’s story which gave birth to one of the most famous and fearsome pirates of them all, Long John Silver. Thanks to Robert Louis Stephenson we now associate pirates with black spots, islands where treasure is buried, maps marked with an X, wooden legs and parrots on the shoulder.
