illustrated book attracted me. I picked the Treasure Island and started reading 
it. 
The main story of the book was about discovering a hidden treasure from an 
island by following a treasure map. A small boy named Jim Hawkins lives with 
his mother and helps her running the inn - Admiral Benbow. An old sailor came 
into the inn and suddenly died leaving some of his belongings. Hawkins and his 
mother open the belongings and had found a map which leads towards an 
island where an evil pirate, Captain Flint had hidden his treasures. So, decisions 
were made to make the move to rescue the treasures. Some other characters 
like Captain Smollett, Long John Silver also take part in the voyage and play 
different roles in the ship. But everyone seems to be aware of the aim of the 
voyage. Gradually, Jim Hawkins discovers that the people they had taken as 
crews are not crews. In reality, they were pirates and are waiting for a suitable 
chance to snatch the treasure once that is discovered by Jim and his 
companions. A mutiny takes place on the ship and there were two groups. 
Battles took place and some of the pirates are killed. On the island, some of 
the pirates managed to hide and waited for the chance. When the treasures 
were discovered, they charged Jim and his companions but were ambushed 
and killed by the other mates of Jim. Then collected the treasures and shared 
among them after returning to Bristol. 
The novel was interesting to me for some particular reasons. Firstly, the novel 
took me in the days when there were sailing ships. The age was of pirates who 
killed innocent sailors and looted their belongings. The age was also about 
hidden treasures like gold coins, precious stones, valuable clothing, chests 
filled with riches and much more. In fact, the days were filled with adventures. 
Besides, the writing capacity of the author is so lively that it appeared to me 
that everything is happening right before my eyes. I started believing that I am 
one of the participants in the voyage. Finally, the book made me amazed and I 
was glad at the success of the little boy, Jim Hawkins.
