A summer that will change lives forever

The Highlands, 1881

A boy seeking a father...
A girl seeking treasure...
A writer seeking a story...

When Robert Louis Stevenson sketches a map to amuse his stepson Sam, it sets them off on the adventure of a lifetime.

While Stevenson is inspired to write his first great story, Sam has a treasure hunt of his own to pursue, guided through the hidden forests and dangerous glens of the Cairngorms by the mystical Jen Hawkins.

Finding Treasure Island is the missing memoir of Sam Osbourne, which reveals his part in the birth of the greatest adventure story written.

About the Author

Robin Scott-Elliot has been a sports journalist for over 25 years with the BBC, ITV, the Sunday Times, the Independent and 'i', covering every sport you can think of and a few you probably can't. The highlight was the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics; the lowlight turning up at the wrong stadium to cover Scotland's football team.

Finding Treasure Island will be his fourth historical-fiction novel after The Tzar's Curious Runaways, The Acrobats of Agra and Hide and Seek.

He lives in Helensburgh with his wife and two daughters, and a dog, a cat, a rabbit and a guinea pig.
