I was still in high-school when I received an offer to illustrate R.-L. Stevenson's famous novel.

The publisher, Ma'ariv Book Guild, insisted on a highly detailed, conservative style, to give the illustrations a "classic" look, but allowed me complete freedom to choose which 10 scenes to illustrate.

Working on the drawings, I felt like "I was going to sea myself; to sea in a schooner, with a piping boatswain, and pig-tailed singing seamen; to sea, bound for an unknown island, and to seek for buried treasures!"

The book appeared in print in 1994.  Shown here is some of my artwork from that edition.
