"I can hardly think that healthy boys will ever let Stevenson's books of adventure die." -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"Mark Twain once defined a classic as a book that everyone wants to have read, but nobody wants to read. By that cute definition, Treasure Island is not a classic at all. It is a book that is preeminently readable, and not only so, but it is readable by a demographic group not known for its prowess in the literary arts—viz. young boys." -From Douglas Wilson's Introduction

When Billy Bones dies and leaves young Jim Hawkins with a priceless map showing the way to a fabulous treasure island, he and his friends eagerly plan an expedition for Skull Island in hopes of making their fortunes. The only problem is that one day, while hiding in a barrel of apples, Jim Hawkins overhears a mutinous conversation, and realizes that some of Billy Bones's former crewmates are also on board—and that they won't hesitate to ill for a share of the silver and gold.

“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.” ~Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are two of the most beloved characters in English literature. The relaxed Holmes can spot a million clues just by entering a room, while his assistant, Dr. John Watson, though not nearly as brilliant, remains his dogged and faithful companion. This collection includes most of the stories Sir Arthur Conan Doyle considered his greatest, including “A Study in Scarlet,” “The Red-Headed League,” “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” “The Final Problem,” and many more—thirty mysteries total.
