Synopsis
Bianchi's zany characters and cartoon re-enactments of classic sword-play, treasure huts and sailing expeditions are richly rendered in a style that hints of both 19th-Century painter N.C. Wyeth's original art and Saturday morning cartoons.
While the large-format book stays true to the twists and turns of the original narrative and the flavor of its rich language, Bianchi's art enriches the adventure for contemporary young readers. Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver and the rest of the crew are portrayed as dogs in this funny and memorable version of a beloved classic.
