Robert Louis Stevenson is a famous Scottish writer and many of his novels are well known and have been adapted for film and television. This compendium is a collection of his seven best novels. Treasure Island (1883) is his famous pirate story, featuring buried treasure and adventure on the high seas. Prince Otto (1885) is an action romance set in the fictional Germanic state of Grünewald. The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), features a benevolent and intelligent doctor who turns into a monster after drinking a drug intended to separate good from evil. Kidnapped (1886) is a historical novel centred on a boy called David Balfour's during the Jacobite troubles in Scotland. The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses (1888) is a historical romance and adventure novel set during the Wars of the Roses. The Master of Ballantrae (1889), is a breathtaking tale of revenge, set in Scotland, America, and India. Catriona (1893), also known as David Balfour, is a sequel to Kidnapped, and tells of David Balfour's further adventures. These stories are exciting and masterful, a great addition to any bookshelf.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850, the only son of an engineer, Thomas Stevenson. Despite a lifetime of poor health, Stevenson was a keen traveller, and his first book An Inland Voyage (1878) recounted a canoe tour of France and Belgium. In 1880, he married an American divorcee, Fanny Osbourne, and there followed Stevenson's most productive period, in which he wrote, amongst other books, Treasure Island (1883), The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Kidnapped (both 1886). In 1888, Stevenson left Britain in search of a more salubrious climate, settling in Samoa, where he died in 1894.
