Versions of Treasure Island available at my library, ranked
because I read them all like some kind of freak and I need to share my thoughts on them!
(not including downloadable options, movie adaptations, or “sequels”)
This is going to be a really long post so I sure hope that read-more worked! Also, sorry about the image quality; I was trying to keep things from being gigantic and I don’t think I took a good approach. Okay here we go.
8. Scribner Storybook Classics series published by Atheneum Books imprint of Simon and Schuster, 2003 edition utilizing 1911 illustrations by N.C. Wyeth. Abridged.
Wyeth is a very well-known artist, and he’s definitely talented, particularly with landscapes and clothing, but I find most of the human faces in this book pretty creepy. I also don’t like this abridged version of the text. I cannot stop thinking about the baffling choice to have Silver leave his parrot behind on the ship when he escapes. It’s also interesting to me that Silver literally never talks about Flint.
I will say that describing Silver as “one-legged (and two-faced)” was a little bit clever. This version might have ranked higher if it hadn’t had the misfortune of being the first one I read after embarking on this weird project.
7. Great Illustrated Classics edition published by Dodd, Mead & Company in 1985 with cover illustration by Stephen Moore and 12 engravings from an 1890 edition by assorted illustrators. Unabridged.
It’s the book. Whatever.
6. Usborne Young Reading Series Two edition published in 2007, abridged by Angela Wilkes, adapted by Sam Taplin, illustrated by Peter Dennis, with readalong CD read by Jonathan Guy Lewis.
This is retold for a younger audience than any of the other versions on this list, so in a way I think it’s actually the most successful abridged version, because it feels like there’s a reason for it. Definitely a very simplistic take on the story, but I can live with it. I don’t love most of the illustrations, particularly the characters’ faces, which I think are kind of ugly and also pretty similar to each other. I do like these random birds, and this treasure hunt shot that would make a decent bookmark.
The (very dramatic) voices and sound effects on the audiobook are kind of entertaining.
5. Great Illustrated Classics (different series with same name) edition published by Baronet Books (Playmore Inc./Waldman Publishing Corp.) in 1989, illustrated by A.J. McAllister. Abridged by Deidre S. Laiken.
I’ve seen books from this series before, and they all have this same look, so my expectations were pretty much met. Mediocre paper. The cover is done by a different artist than the rest of the book. Very stark black and white pictures which are not really to my taste, although this one I shared on its own last week keeps sending me into hysterics.
I feel that the person who abridged this version did a better job than the Scribner one overall, which is not to say it’s without… quirks. Silver says he was quartermaster because of his wooden leg. A random background character’s name is changed for no apparent reason, and there’s a typo in the very same sentence. Silver is referred to as “evil” in the description on the back and as a “monster” within the text which is. something. On the other hand - and here’s another thing I can’t stop thinking about now - it’s implied that Silver has not only a wife but a FAMILY?!?! Also they add something about Jim selling the inn that’s not in the original.
4. Four Complete Novels: Treasure Island, The Master of Ballantrae, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Kidnapped. Published by Arlington House Inc. in 1983, this edition by Gramercy Books (Random House) in 1995. Unabridged.
This has the same illustrations as the Dodd, Mead & Company version, but there are a few, like this one of Silver, that I’m pretty sure weren’t in that one.
I think it’s nice having some other RLS books in the same volume.
3. Classic Starts version published by Sterling Publishing Co. Inc. in 2005, illustrated by Lucy Corvino. Abridged by Chris Tait.
As far as abridged editions go this is a pretty good one. Nothing too remarkable, but they’ve very deliberately removed almost every mention of alcohol, which is an amusing censorship hill to die on given all the murder in the book. The chapter title “I Let Israel Hands Lend a Hand” is pretty funny. Silver admits that he’s afraid. “Silver still had his foot in both camps” is a kind of unfortunate figure of speech. There aren’t very many illustrations but they’re okay. I like this little parrot.
2. 1992 edition published by Viking/Penguin Books, illustrated by Robert Ingpen. Unabridged.
There’s kind of a range of artistic styles in here for some reason, so there are some illustrations in here that I don’t care for, but also several I really like. Silver usually looks like a kind old man.
There’s a beautiful bird’s eye view of Bristol, an eerily lovely shot of the ship at the island, and a cute Cap’n Flint.
Also I assume this horrifying face is meant to be Flint’s ghost which I kind of hate but also think is kind of badass.
1. Usborne Illustrated Originals edition illustrated by Fran Parreño. Unabridged.
This edition is simple but charming. Uses the Blackadder ITC font for chapter titles and it looks like that font’s natural habitat. Book is a nice size and shape, cute cover. Art style, particularly the shots of ships and islands, reminds me a lot of some of debbiedart’s recent Black Sails paintings, except not as good. Most of the adult men (with the unsettling exception of Israel Hands) are pretty ugly, but I like how the artist draws Jim. I enjoy this dramatic Silver, although I’m not sure about the way the artist draws his crutch.
Major points in this version’s favor for illustrating my beloved “You’ve seen my snuff-box, haven’t you? And you never saw me take snuff; the reason being that in my snuff-box I carry a piece of Parmesan cheese – a cheese made in Italy, very nutritious” AND illustrating the sea lions. There’s also a shot of a shipwreck at the island that’s weirdly similar to the one in Black Sails.
Honorable Mention: A Clash of Steel: A Treasure Island Remix by C.B. Lee. Robert Louis Stevenson said “this is a book by, for, and about white British boys” and this author said “cool, what if instead it was about Chinese and Vietnamese girls and women and there was a lesbian romance in it.” I loved this book. It’s a total reimagining but it engages with the original in really interesting ways. The revelation that the [spoiler] character and the [spoiler] character are the same person was fucking brilliant.
If you’ve read this far, I hope it was at least a little bit interesting and/or entertaining. Let me know if you have any questions about any of these, because clearly I have lots of opinions. Also, if you have an edition you like that’s not on here, feel free to recommend it and maybe I’ll see if I can get my hands on it!
#Treasure Island#long post#I really don't know why I did this#and now I have all kinds of thoughts about how I would go about making my own version of it

So I'm leaving work and something darts in front of me, maybe 10ft away, too fast for me to see what it is. Peek around the tree blocking my path and I see this
Just like... a whole ass hawk. Dude's gotta be about 1.5ft tall. Massive fucking bird. And it's just staring me straight in my soul like this, even as I try to move ahead. It didn't budge. And there's only this path back to my car unless I want to walk on a busy highway. So I have the option of Death By Raptor or Death By Truck.
So I walk in the poison ivy filled patch off the sidewalk. Guy still isn't moving. Still staring me directly in the eyes. And I do this thing when animals are behaving strangely where I'll talk to them, so I'm just like, "Hey, man. I don't know you. You don't know me. This feels really threatening. I'm just trying to get to my car, dude. Can I get some space please? You're a big fucking bird. I see those claws. You could kill me right now, but I'd appreciate if you didn't, ok?"
It didn't move until I was about 2ft away. Again: I'm as far from it as I can be without walking into the street. It clearly wasn't going to budge. I walk past, thing flies up (silent, btw. Scary) and lands on a brick wall a little further ahead
Anyway. Weird guy. Nearly shit my pants when I noticed a bird big enough to carry off a fully grown cat was just... there, staring me in the face, unwilling to move away from me, a human, something it should see as a threat. I watched behind me the whole rest of the way to my car, just in case this bird decided to help me shed this mortal coil. 10/10 experience. Super cool guy.
#not vc sorry#bird#birds#aves#raptor#hawk#red shouldered hawk#i think. might be wrong on that id#accipitriformes#birds of prey#honestly a really cool guy so close up#I'm happy i wasn't attacked. i would not want to fight a guy that big.#talons on this bird were huge. big scary.#I've never heard of large predatory birds just landing in front of people like that so i don't know what gives#it didn't catch any food or anything. just landed near me then stared me down.#I don't know a lot about bird behavior so i tried to not look back at it but still.#it also didn't look injured. seemed like a healthy bird#if anyone has any idea why this thing would act the way it did I'd love to know

You know I am surprise Sebek that is never jealous to anyone who is close to Yuu. It is a boys school and I can imagine some have crushes on her.
#jk jk it's a total tragedy for sebek if he ever loves the same person as the one malleus loves#i swear malleus just loves the company#or is he#he did give me a little heart throb at the masquerade but that's all just yet#i can't really imagine anyone else likes her#malleus draconia#because partly i really don't plan of shipping her in the first place#sebek was a total surprise development fhsdshdh#this question arose at the time she was being shoved to jack#i can see that jack is totally someone to be jealous at ha ha; he is a total hunk#but i feel like sebek see him as a solid trustable friend than a snatcher who would disrespect him#i did think of a scenario from how sebek is jealous of malleus drinking coffee with silver that goes like...#yuu talking to silver; sebek be like “WHAT WHY ARE U TALKING TO SILVER MORE”#and yuu be like “bcs silver whispers when he talks”#and stubborn as he is sebek be like “I CAN TALK IN WHISPER TOO”#and he sat there and tried so hard to whisper which pretty much end up as at the very least normal talking voice#and Sebek just “GRRR NGRHRHHRH!!!!!! YOU'LL SEE I'LL WHISPER PROPERLY ONE DAY!!!! AND U'LL HANG OOUT WITH ME MORE”#fjsdsdj#but i don't even know what would yuu talk with silver#i didn't even realize before that silver is actually in 2nd class#they look so same age#yuu be like - . - to everyone anyhow#she just keeps the guy act while brushing off the thought whether the others already know she is a girl or not#sebek zigvolt#twst yuu#twst mc#twisted wonderland#twst#fanart

#wind waker#loz#zelda#beedle#linktober#link#aquanutart#day 1: merchant#i really liked beedle in the wind waker he just always seemed so genuinely enthusiastic and happy to see you#i thought his compliment card was hilarious. i always bought a lot of bait anyway to complete my sea chart#and because i liked messing around as a bird i guess i'd buy hyoi pears; so i always racked up enough points without really trying#however i wasn't a fan of what they did with his character in games after that. he became pressuring and insincere#i understand why people would find a two-faced salesman character funny or interesting in his own right#but it's the opposite of what i originally liked about him#unfortunately this makes me question whether it was meant that way to begin with?#i don't know but i like to believe wind waker beedle actually meant his enthusiasm#back when ww beedle was the only beedle i always meant to show appreciation for him so i'm doing that now

very interested in how the storyline of ronan's sexuality is developed in the dream thieves as a battle between kavinsky and gansey while adam is almost never present in these scenes, which makes it even more interesting that we found out in CDTH that ronan was set on adam the moment he saw him. i think that ronan is attracted on some level to both gansey and kavinsky (you can draw the lines of how much romantic intention you think he hold towards either of the yourself, that's a rabbit hole I would need a whole other post to go down) but more so I think he was attracted to the IDEA of both of them and certain qualities that each possessed, and that the real question wasn't does ronan want gansey or kavinsky because we know he wants adam but rather who's qualities resonate more with who ronan is, or who he is choosing to be at this critical moment in his character development. kavinsky is a dangerous thrill and often comes wrapped in ronan's other favorite self destructive attempts to outrun himself, while gansey is ronan's history and proof of his deep capacities for loyalty and love. he tells kavinsky it was never going to be me and you and that it's not going to be ronan and gansey because that was never the question- maggie was obviously always planning on bluesy and pynch. the answer to who ronan WANTS in adam. the question of who ronan IS- that's what he's trying to decide here. his self hatred is such a heavy weight on him and theme in tdt, and the kavinsky/gansey dichotomy represents the the path he will choose to take to deal with it- keep try to drive faster than his demons or accept that he can still be loved even if he isn't the person he once was. the dream thieves my beloved ronan lynch my beloved
#obviously I'm not the authority on this lmao these r just my thoughts but I would love to hear ur thoughts as well!!!#this has been in my drafts for a while while I kept updating and tweaking it but I think this is the best way to say what I'm trying to say#also lot of kavinsky posts here at kazbiter recently not very sure what's up w that#anyways yeah I really do think this is why she did it this way like I don't think kavinsky ever even says adams name?? i could b wrong tho#and I always found that interesting and while I appreciated he was the leader of ronsey nation I was like how does he not know abt adam#and this is my conclusion I think it was an active writing choice of Maggie's bc the dichotomy of gansey/kavinsky just really works for#ronans personal overarching plot of the book that is undoubtedly his in trc

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ
.
#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so!#it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat#Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case#I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does#I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature#and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame#I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing#sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird#but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work#and how they shape things they come in contact with#in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character#and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know#answered#kachavashka#Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name#I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character
