Jim Hawkins, the cabin-boy hero of Treasure Island, has grown up. With his fortune from the South Seas, he has expanded and improved the family inn, the old Admiral Benbow, on the coast of Somerset, where, from behind the bar, he regales travelers with tales of Long John Silver, Ben Gunn, Billy Bones, and the parrot that shrieks "pieces of eight, pieces of eight" - Cap'n Flint. Then one day, the mail coach deposits a beautiful stranger and her young son, and asks Jim to help her find somebody - Joseph Tait, one of the pirates they left behind on Treasure Island.

Re: Jim Hawkins and the Curse of Treasure Island
It looks like I need a little bit of brushing up on my
"Pirate Speak!!" There are a few terms that I know, some
that I'm familiar with, and some that are way out in left
field for me!! I do remember reading Treasure Island when I
was young, and I'm sure that your book will bring back quite
a few memories. Thank you for quite an enlightening
posting!!

This is interesting. I made a copy so I can learn more. I need
to also re-read Treasure Island.

This sounds like a great book for a book group discussion with Treasure
Island. Sometimes the most interesting discussions. With three teen
grandsons, this might be a great " read with Grammy" book also. Enjoy
returning to classics anytime!!
