Summary of David Cordingly's Under the Black Flag

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish author who wrote Treasure Island. He wrote the book in three days, and it was published in installments in Young Folks magazine. He had not been well in Scotland, and he spent the winter with his wife and stepson in Davos, Switzerland.

#2 The book, Treasure Island, was written by Robert Lewis Stevenson and published in 1883. It was intended for boys, but has been enjoyed by adults as well. The story was adapted for the stage, and every year in London and elsewhere well-known actors and parrots are auditioned for productions.

#3 The dominant personality in Treasure Island is Long John Silver, a sea cook who is based on a friend of Stevenson’s named W. E. Henley. He is tall and powerful, and has a wily character that alternates between jovial good humor and utter ruthlessness in the pursuit of gold.

#4 The effect of Treasure Island on our perception of pirates cannot be understated. Stevenson linked pirates with maps, black schooners, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen with parrots on their shoulders.
