 Definition: 

Robert Louis Stevenson
Jim Hawkins, who narrates Stevenson`s classic tale, is rewarded for his assistance to an old pirate, Billy Bones, with a map showing the way to buried treasure. He and his associates set sail for the island on a ship manned by a band of pirates--a fact they discover en route. The pirate king is the notorious one-legged cook Long John Silver, one of Stevenson`s most delightfully conceived villains. The pirates are vanquished, the treasure is retrieved, and Stevenson`s novel is widely loved, and admired as one of the great adventure novels of all time.
