Treasure Neverland compares the facts of real eighteenth-century pirate lives with how they were transformed artistically for historical novels, popular melodramas, boyish adventures, and Hollywood films.

An essay concerning the history of travel literature, both real and imaginary, from classical times, via early accounts of the New world, to the accounts of the South Seas that lay beyond. An account of the Mutiny on the Bounty, and discussions of authors such as Defoe, Swift, Byron, and Melville are also given.
