A tale of tall ships and lawless men on the Spanish Main.
Description
Written in 1924, this thrilling prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate tale Treasure Island imagines how Captain Flint and Murray sacked the Spanish galleon and buried their ill-gotten treasure on the Dead Man's Chest and on Treasure Island. In the pages of this bloodcurdling story, the reader re-encounters smooth-tongued Long John Silver, the villainous blind pirate Pew, poor Ben Gunn, and many other unforgettable characters.
Reviews
Mr. Howden Smith has done an excellent piece of work. . . . The two stories, Stevenson's and this, dovetail prettily and the joints escape detection.
