This edition of Treasure Island, part of the Oxford Pictorial Classics series, is a simplified retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 adventure novel, specifically adapted by Jane S. Cooper and illustrated by Colin Gibson to make the story accessible to students and younger readers. The narrative follows young Jim Hawkins as he discovers a treasure map and embarks on a perilous voyage to a remote island, where he must contend with the charismatic but treacherous pirate Long John Silver and his mutinous crew in a search for Captain Flint’s buried gold. Published by Oxford University Press, this version emphasizes visual storytelling through Gibson’s illustrations, serving as a pedagogical tool to introduce the themes of morality, betrayal, and coming-of-age to an international audience of language learners and young students.
