Start at the top � "Treasure Island" by Stevenson.

[LeMarchand]

A bit of a fantasy twist, but China Mieville's "The Scar".

[mfewell]

Moonfleet, by J Meade Falkner. Not pirates, but smuggling around the Dorset coast (Chesil Beach), and a good read in the genre of Treasure Island.

[shaneystar]

Frenchman's Creek and Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier.
Smuggling,wrecking and a bit of piracy and romance set in Cornwall.

[Brugel]

Treasure Island is a great book.

[sglazier]

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists - by Gideon Defoe is hilarious and zany.
