In November 1883, it was published by Cassell & Company, London, as a novel. This beloved coming-of-age work became Stevenson's first financial success. Mary Zimmerman's glorious rendition is a straightforward retelling of the pirates' swashbuckling mid-18th century adventures amidst mutiny, rum, and buried treasure on an exotic island. Young (perhaps in his early teens), brave Jim Hawkins has recently lost his father. He is an average, middle-class child of the late Victorian era, who signs on as the cabin boy aboard the Hispaniola in order to assist his widowed mother with the family's economic situation. Jim's antagonist, the peg-legged and morally ambiguous buccaneer Long John Silver, is both a malicious mutineer and (upon occasion) a charismatic father figure whom Jim learns to love. Treasure Island explodes like a cannon ball onto the stage regaling thrill-seekers of all ages with a story both epic and intimate, hilarious and harrowing. Tony Award-winner Mary Zimmerman (Metamorphoses, Arabian Nights) has penned a glorious adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's most beloved novel."--Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a A note on the play -- Production history -- Treasure Island -- A note on casting -- Appendix: sheet music -- Photographs. 650 0 $a Treasure Island (Imaginary place) $v Drama. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010117025 650 0 $a Pirates $v Drama. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010106477 650 0 $a Treasure troves $v Drama. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010117026 650 7 $a Pirates. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01064776 650 7 $a Treasure Island (Imaginary place) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155848 650 7 $a Treasure troves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01431639 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423879 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423879 655 7 $a Drama. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026297 700 1 $i Dramatization of (work): $a Stevenson, Robert Louis, $d 1850-1894. $t Treasure Island. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2001080045 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217030711.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=090C6FD2101B11EA8DA14E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
