Day Six is one of my favouritest books. It's the novelisation, by John Goldsmith, of his television mini-series Return To Treasure Island, aired by ITV in the summer of 1986, and then squirreled away in their vaults ever after. (It got a limited DVD release about ten years ago. I still love it massively.)
The book is different from the TV series, but it was all I had for so many, many years. I had to take a photo of my copy for this meme, as I couldn't find a decent sized image online, so I apologise for any creases, smudges, and other assorted scars from a long life of being read several gazillion times.
Here, have a book cover. My only regret is that the picture of Jim is one of him all frilled up, which is not terribly indicative of the series. In reality he spends weeks and weeks in the same outfit, which gradually disintegrates around him. There's not many pristine frills when you're off a-swashbuckling.
