The adventure story told in Treasure Island has become a part of popular folklore. John Sutherland discusses the novels place in Stevensons biography and oeuvre in his learned and lively critical introduction to this new edition. Exploring the novels genesis in Stevensons plundering of other writers, his writers block, and the surprisingly disturbing and complex nature of what was meant to be a childrens story, Sutherland argues for the enduring vitality and appeal of Stevensons first novel.Appendices include Stevensons writing about the novel, contemporary reviews, and sources on which Stevenson drew (or from which he borrowed) when writing Treasure Island.
