Synopsis:

NOW AVAILABLE ON KINDLE!

A sequel to the most popular pirate tale ever told--Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.

Inspired by the opening line of the famous novel in which Jim Hawkins tells of a "treasure not yet lifted" still hidden on an unknown island, Leonard Wibberley (author of The Mouse That Roared) penned this unofficial sequel--a gratifyingly bloody and piratical tale, dominated by one of fiction's great hero-rogues, the endlessly cunning, forever evil Long John Silver.

Wibberley, in his foreword, tells how he came to write Flint's Island, "I realized I must myself, however unworthy, attempt to supply the story of what happened to the remaining treasure or die with that question, raised in childhood, unanswered."

Recommended reading in the Seton Home Study Guide for Grade 7.

New Kindle Edition now available.

About the Author: Leonard Wibberley was born in Dublin Ireland, in 1915. He was the sixth child of a schoolteacher and an agricultural scientist. When he was nine, his family moved to London. Seven years later, when his father died, he went to work as a stockroom apprentice for a publisher and later became a reporter. After various jobs, he came to the United States in 1943 and engaged in newspaper work for ten years. While working for the Los Angeles Times, he published his first work, The King's Beard. Three years later he published his most successful book, The Mouse That Roared, which was serialized in The Saturday Evening Post, and later made into a classic film starring Peter Sellers.

Wibberley lived in Hermosa Beach from 1949 until his death in 1983. He wrote over 100 books and 100's of newspaper articles. He was also an adventurer, who enjoyed traveling, scuba diving, ocean sailing, and road racing.

Leonard also wrote a Christian-themed crime series--The Father Bredder Mysteries--under the pen name Leonard Holton.
