In his frugality he accidently hires a group of twisted muppets pirates that, unsurprisingly, mutiny against him. He’s not a very nice bear guy, and he’s not overly intelligent either. As a member of the Victorian gentry, he takes the map for himself with the intention of filling his own coffers with the loot. He Gonzo and Rizzo goes alone and seeks the help of Fozzie Bear Squire Trelawney. It all begins when the young Jim Hawkins comes across a map for buried treasure, except he hasn’t got any money to fund the voyage. So, they wouldn’t try and gain your trust by singing you a jolly song about piracy, like Tim and his muppet mates would.īut, muppet based comparison aside, this is a good novel. They might wake you up first if they’re feeling kind. They’re the sort of men you don’t want on your ship because they’d likely cut your throat in your sleep. The pirates in here aren’t singing toys they’re hardened criminals that created the pirate stereotype. The Muppet Treasure Island is such a great film it’s hilarious. Therefore, I just can’t take this book seriously. So, whenever I read about Captain Smollett and Long John Silver all I can see is Kermit fighting Tim Curry! (Stay with me here!) I grew up watching the muppets. The problem resides with Kermit the Frog. The problem is not with the writing or the characters that Stevenson has created it’s not even with the plot. It’s one I’m a little embarrassed to admit. Someone recently asked me what review I enjoyed writing the most, and, well, this is it: Its influence is enormous on popular perceptions of pirates, including such elements as treasure maps marked with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. It is also noted as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality-as seen in Long John Silver-unusual for children's literature. Treasure Island is traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, and is noted for its atmosphere, characters, and action. It was first published as a book on 14 November 1883 by Cassell & Co. It was originally serialized in the children's magazine Young Folks between 18 under the title Treasure Island, or the mutiny of the Hispaniola, with Stevenson adopting the pseudonym Captain George North. Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold".
