The Treasure Of Dead Man S Chest

Dead Man's Chest

DEAD MAN'S CHEST is a classic pirate yarn that begins with Long John Silver's escape from the merchantman Hispaniola at Peurta Plata, and culminates with the American Revolution more than a decade later. It describes in rich detail the unholy alliance between this softhearted cutthroat, his teenage nephew, David Noble and Captain John Paul Jones. Together they work to retrieve a king's ransom of Spanish gold and jewels from DEAD MAN'S CHEST: the remaining two-thirds of the treasure described in Stevenson's novel, and the inspiration for the sailor's ballad by the same name.
