|  | Treasure Island by A. J. McAllister, Ara Watson, Dan Danko, David Frankland, Deidre S. Laiken
Jim Hawkins, who narrates Stevenson's classic tale, is rewarded for his assistance to an old pirate, Billy Bones, with a map showing the way to buried treasure. He and his associates set sail for the island on a ship manned by a band of pirates--a fact they discover en route. The pirate king is the notorious one-legged cook Long John Silver, one of Stevenson's most delightfully conceived villains. The pirates are vanquished, the treasure is retrieved, and Stevenson's novel is widely loved, and admired as one of the great adventure novels of all time. AUTHOR: A. J. McAllister, Ara Watson, Dan Danko, David Frankland, Deidre S. Laiken

Plus: try 9 types of skirt, 6 kinds of fringe, and 8 heads. Finish off with lots of trimmings and baubles -- ruffs, tiny flowers, cubes and squares, and much more! AUTHOR: Valerie Campbell-Harding
