About this title

Synopsis

N. C. Wyeth's thrilling, evocative artwork -- created circa 1911 -- enlivens Robert Louis Stevenson's unforgettable tale of adventure in this thoughtful retelling of the literary classic, abridged for younger readers, 4 to 8 years of age. This large-format book provides a wonderful introduction to the beloved story and is sure to be read and enjoyed by families for generations.

Reviews

Grade 3-5-Stripped down from the original, this version reads smoothly enough for younger readers to get the plot and essential characters straight and the oversized format gives the story and pictures import. But 14 Wyeth illustrations, murkily reproduced and in a garishly yellowed tint, hardly convey the artist's full-color, masterful, and classic depictions of the action. To see the real pictures, suggest that children look at the version published by Atheneum (1981). They might even read the whole story.
