Jim Hawkins is the son of the innkeepers of the Admiral Benbow near
Devon and becomes fascinated by a mysterious lodger, the old seaman
Billy Bones. It soon becomes apparent to Jim that Billy Bones
is in hiding from a man with one wooden leg and he is also in

to track down the treasure with the help of a one-legged sea
cook Long John Silver, Captain Alexander Smollett, Squire Trelawney
and Dr. Livesey among others. But all is not as it seems. Is
Long John Silver really trustworthy? After all Bones did warn him
of a man with one leg...
