Yes! It's another RLS book! It's also the last. Too bad, because I was starting to like his style.
This book defined many of our modern stereotypes of pirates. RLS introduced (or at least brought into the mainstream) such elements as parrots on the captain's shoulder, eye patches, peg legs, islands with treasure hidden on them, "X marks the spot" and the famous "15 men on a dead man's chest" song.
Yeah. Robert Louis Stevenson for the win.
A fun read; surprisingly fast. I can see why it's RLS's most famous work.
