Invitation Guidelines. When sending invitations to a retirement party, do not mention gifts. While it is polite and common for attendees to bring a gift, it is not required. The only mention of gifts that is acceptable on the invitation is if the retiree requests no gifts to be given.
Treasure Island is arguably one of the most influential tales in the world of fiction. Every pirate stereotype that we take for granted these days we can see the foundation somewhere in this magic tale.
Stevenson's Treasure Island is much less of a Disney-esque fantasy and Jim Hawkins, narrator and salty sea dog in the making, is forced to pit his wits against the wiliest of all pirates, Long John Silver in a race to retrieve the booty.
