Ho-ho-ho! Adventures at sea, pirates, and treasures.
It is likely that Mauri Kunnas also dreamed of adventures at sea, islands, and treasures when he read the famous novel by R.L. Stevenson in his childhood. Today, however, you can't find ships to sail the seas or unknown islands and pirates to conquer (unless your mom allows it and only after you finish your homework).
One solution is to become a children's book author and create an entire world with words and colors, just like you imagined when you were a child.
"Treasure Island" (Treasure Island, 1883) is one of the most famous adventure novels in world literature. Created by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), it has been translated into many languages, delighting generations of readers and inspiring many books and movies about pirates, sea adventures, and treasure hunts.
This edition, a combination of an illustrated book and a comic in the well-known style of Mauri Kunnas, is a humorous and original interpretation of the famous novel.
Jim Hawkins lives with his mother in an inn by the sea, where they barely make a living. By chance, the map of the island where the infamous pirate Flint hid his treasure ends up in Jim's hands. The treasure must be found, say Mr. Trelawney and Dr. Livesey, to whom Jim's mother asks for help, and Jim will be rewarded accordingly. However, the famous treasure is also sought by one of Flint's criminal associates, the terrible Long John Silver, disguised as a friendly and hard-working cook.
Who will obtain the treasure, Jim and his friends or the pirates led by the deceitful Long John Silver?
Mauri Kunnas is the most beloved contemporary Finnish author and illustrator of children's literature. Each of his books immediately becomes a bestseller, thanks to the extremely creative and engaging way he addresses topics that are of great interest to children, with rich educational content. Straddling the line between fairy tales and comics, Mauri Kunnas's works are exactly the kind of books we dream of in our childhood: large and generous dimensions, colorful pages, rich and creative illustrations, plenty of true information, and lots and lots of humor.
