This adventure novel is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. As such, it retells the story (and what came before) from Ben Gunn's point of view. How did a guy like Ben wind up on a bloodthirsty pirate crew? What was the old ship they saw abandoned at the island? What happened to the mutineers left behind? Evocative b&w illustrations throughout.
