Description
Andrew Motion picks up where R. L. Stevenson left off, taking us on a fantastic adventure from the shores of Treasure Island to the mysterious New World... THE END OF THE WORLD OR THE BEGINNING. On to the shores of Texas a raging sea coughs up two castaways- Jim and Natty, shipwrecked on their way home from Treasure Island. The Nightingale sunk, their silver gone, captured, weak and afraid, the pair steal a treasure they should have left well alone. The adventure of the New World lies in wait.

ReviewsI love The New World... I look forward, hopefully, to more. -- John Sutherland * The Times * It's written with such gusto and passion that it's impossible not to enjoy it. * Irish Independent * Motion paints an alluring portrait of a land that is in turns bountiful and beautiful, barren and savage. -- Lucy Scholes * Independent * Motion's narrative is both more lyrical and more gruesome than Robert Louis Stevenson's. * Mail on Sunday * Motion has fashioned an exciting narrative that fans of the original will welcome. * Good Book Guide *
