Two of the greatest novels of the 19th Century are collected together in this double-feature by master storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson!
First, the swashbuckling epic tale of high-seas adventure "Treasure Island." When young Jim Hawkins discovers a map to the legendary pirate Captain Flint's buried treasure, he embarks on an ocean voyage to retrieve it with the help of Squire Trelawney, Doctor Livesey and the mischievous sea-cook Long John Silver. When the shipmates on board their vessel are revealed to be pirates themselves, it is up to Jim to rescue the day and take down the conspirators...headed up by Silver himself!
Then, the legendary gothic tale of mayhem and murder, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Mild-mannered lawyer G.J. Utterson learns of a misshapen stranger - a Mr. Hyde - who seems to have his dear friend Dr. Henry Jekyll in his thrall. Attempting to discover the secret of this strange association, Utterson is drawn into a mystery that will lead to deception, an exploration of the duality of man and, ultimately, murder.
Enjoy these two novels of adventure and horror by legendary storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson.
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.
