Description

Prince Florizel of Bohemia leads Stevenson’s modern Arabian nights: the Suicide Club cycle, the Rajah’s Diamond cycle, and further European tales of whim, crime, and odd honour. Linked adventure across London and the Continent, eleven stories in the classic shape, not a vague handful.

Author

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) gave adventure its modern bounce and the double life its household name. He was an Edinburgh lawyer's son who would not stay still: tuberculosis, canoes, Pacific islands, and sentences that never limp. Treasure Island taught boys (and everyone else) how a story should turn; Jekyll and Hyde taught adults how a conscience can. The essays are as alive as the yarns.
