Treasure Island, prequels and sequels

[Gentleman of Fortune]

Hey folks

I get a lot of e-mails to my mailbag over at www.gentlmenoffortune.com

One recently asked

Would you happen to know if there is a list of Prequels and Sequels to Treasure Island?

I have read some books such as;

Long John Silver by Bjorn Larsson

Flint's Island by L. Wibberley

Dead Man's Chest by R.L. Johnson

The Adventures of Long John Silver by Denis Judd

The Curse of Treasure Island by F. Byran

Porto Bello Gold by A.D.H. Smith

The Adventures of Ben Gunn by R.F. Delderfield

Any help you could give me in finding a list or at least learning of any more Prequels and Sequels to Treasure Island will be greatly appreciated.

So, anyone have anything else to add?

thanks

As a General rule of thumb, I refuse to read anything regarding a work, or body of works that was not written, or authorized by the original author........

therefore, to me, Treasure Island stands alone, and no other works, not written or approved by Stevenson count as 'canon', since he wrote no sequels himself, it can be assumed that if you have an unabridged copy of "Treasure Island" then you have the "Whole Story" as it were.......

I have had the same debate regarding the current spate of novels attempting to expand upon the "Peter Pan" Mythos, on another piracy board........

sorry I can't be of any more help than that, but if you can't enjoy the work as it is, and thirst to delve further into a work that wasn't meant to have any deeper meaning, or explanation, then I'm the wrong man to help.....

also, you misspelled "Gentlemen" in the website's URL
