Robert Louis Stevenson and the Secret of Norman Island

In 1864, a small schooner approaches one of the British Virgin Islands in search for hidden pirate silver. Among the six who are aboard is a Scottish lighthouse engineer and his young nephew, 13-year-old Robert Louis Stevenson. This book contains the account, written by Stevenson, of a secret fortune seeking endeavor which he and his uncle had taken part in. But after returning from the adventure, the memories and experiences of the whole episode refuse to be put to rest from his mind. He struggles years later to become an accomplished author, but with little success. Till at last, he puts the memories to use and inspires him to write one of the most classic swashbuckling pirate tales of all time… “Treasure Island!”
