Thompson. The twenty-four full-color paintings, often spread across two pages, give Stevenson's buccaneers and buried gold the unmistakable Steadman treatment — splattered ink, distorted faces, an atmosphere of moral menace — matched by an introduction that reads the novel as a story with no heroes, every character smitten by a festering greed for gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e TO-2026-127\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stevenson, Robert Louis","offers":[{"title":"Near Fine","offer_id":46459955347617,"sku":"TO-2026-127","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7001\/0785\/files\/TO-2026-127_01.jpg?v=1783744310","url":"https:\/\/twoorangesbooks.com\/products\/to-2026-127","provider":"Two Oranges Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
