More Treasure Island and a Dead Man's Chest

I was thinking about the Treasure Island Movies being filmed and I thought I would provide some links to Robert Louis Stevenson's books to read.  If you want to download, or read the book online here is a link for the Internet Archive and the from Project Gutenberg.  The version I linked to from the internet archive is illustrated by Louis Rhead and has some interesting illustrations.

The initial catalyst for the story was an island map that Stevenson and his stepson drew while on holiday in the Scottish Highlands.

The first page of the book contains the lines for a ditty.

"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest— Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

Stevenson intended the rhyme as a forewarning of the events in his tale.  It was expanded in a poem years later, titled Derelict by Young E. Allison.  Here's the music of "15 Men On a Dead Man's Chest."
