'LIFESAVER'
"If you've never read Treasure Island, do yourself a favor and pick up the Vocabbett Classics edition. The original illustrations are beautifully restored, and Erica Abbett's annotations are so helpful! It's surprising how hard some pirate lingo is to understand without her "translations"! Treasure Island is the original pirate novel, and it's so fun to see where so many legends come from."
