About this ebook
Before Captain Jack Sparro and The Pirates of the Caribbean, there were Treasure Island and Kidnapped. Two novels of derring-do and adventure among pirates on the high seas. Thrill with our young heroes as they swashbuckle through one adventure after another. Collected here together are the two books that all other pirate adventures are measured against.
Author
Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson was born on 13 November 1850, changing his second name to ‘Louis’ at the age of eighteen. He has always been loved and admired by countless readers and critics for ‘the excitement, the fierce joy, the delight in strangeness, the pleasure in deep and dark adventures’ found in his classic stories and, without doubt, he created some of the most horribly unforgettable characters in literature and, above all, Mr. Edward Hyde.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Thought Treasure Island to be the better of the two tales, but also the more simple and straightforward. Neither measure up to The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, but both were enjoyable in their own right.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read cover to cover in a week. Kidnapped was 8 out of 10; a real pleasure to read. Just enough of a swashbuckler to be a rollicking read, not too chock-full of history and dialect to bog you down. (i.e., Scott's "Waverley".) Treasure Island was about 6 of 10. It lost a little by being narrated by a child...though that was the entire point of its conception - piracy from the POV of a 12 year old. Both books were great fun to read, and very rewarding, especially "Kidnapped".
