Dead Man's Chest is a classic pirate yarn that begins with Long John Silver's escape from the merchantman Hispaniola and culminates with the American Revolution more than a decade later. It describes the unholy alliance between this softhearted cutthroat, his nephew David Noble, and Captain John Paul Jones, as they work together to retrieve a king's ransom of Spanish gold and jewels from Dead Man's chest--the remainder of the treasure described in Stevenson's novel and the inspiration for the sailor's ballad of the same name.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68046019887392,"sku":"NEW1470891182","price":58.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71QYWgBNlFL.jpg?v=1793258503","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/dead-mans-chest-1470891182","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
