Illustrated by
John Lawrence.
This unabridged, outsized version of Stevenson's novel, first published in 1883 and set in the 1700s, follows the adventures of Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver, and the crew of the Hispaniola. What makes this edition stand out are the book's illustrations (hand-colored vinyl cuts and wood textures) and design, which beautifully evoke printed works from the past.
