With just the mere mention of "pirates" this song sung by the pirates of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous novel "Treasure Island" comes straight to mind.

Young readers can read all about the adventures that brought young Jim Hawkins to the sea searching for the island on which old Captain Flint buried his treasure, and fighting the pirates led by Long John Silver, accompanied by the inevitable shoulder-riding parrot, until he found the chests of gold thanks to the extravagant Ben Gunn.

Children will find themselves immersed in this timeless adventure, transported to the very heart of the story thanks to the wonderful illustrations by artist Francesca Rossi, whose talents lie in recreating the pirate atmosphere of the novel with outstanding realism.

The large colourful images and sketches, in fact, give the impression you are actually reading Jim's journal as he travels, while the simple and engaging texts have been adapted for the young readers of today.
