Island Robert
When was Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson written?
Stevenson wrote Treasure Island for his stepson in 1881. He said that, “If this don’t fetch the kids, why, they have gone rotten since my day”. It’s a tale of pirates, a treasure map, a mutiny and a one-legged sea cook. Treasure Island remains one of literature’s best loved adventure stories.
