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...

On to the shores of Texas a raging sea coughs up two castaways: Jim and Natty, shipwrecked on their way home from Treasure Island.

Praise for The New World

I 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.
