“Treasure Island,” written by Robert Louis Stevenson, is a story of murder, money and mutiny. On a dark stormy night, an innkeeper’s granddaughter opens the door to a stranger. At his feet sits a chest full of secrets. The innkeeper invites the stranger in, and his granddaughter’s dangerous adventure beings.
