While going through the possessions of a deceased guest who owed them money, the mistress of the inn and her son find a treasure map that leads them to a pirate's fortune.
I'm a fan of Robert Louis Stevenson's poems and I have reason to believe that he is just a kid at heart, especially with Treasure Island. I love the colorful and unforgettable characters and the swashbuckling pirate adventure. It's definitely one that you'll read to your kids in the future.
