Captain Flint (the man and the parrot), Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver and Billy Bones, the Old Sea Dog are immortal characters, without a touch of age upon them or their story. Treasure Island was perhaps the first classic I actually skimmed through many times in my childhood. I didn&rsquo;t read it in earnest until now, and I did that because the final season of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2375692/">Black Sails</a> is about to end.</p>
