Shiver me timbers, landlubbers, pin back your ears and we’ll tell you a tale of mysterious strangers, mutinous pirates and buried treasure!  Come aboard the good ship Hispaniola with us and cabin boy, Jim Hawkins, and we’ll sail across the seas on the hunt for Captain Flint’s hidden gold. We’ll outwit that old seadog, the notorious pirate, Long John Silver, and his madcap crew – but watch out for the Black Spot! Calling all pirates everywhere, heave-ho me hearties, we’re off on an action-packed, exciting, adventure!
