Description

New Arabian Nights is a collection of short stories by Robert Louis Stevenson. The stories are set in the Arabian Nights-style and take place in various locations around Europe, from the streets of London to the forests of France. The collection features nine stories, each with its own unique characters and plot. Some of the stories are humorous, while others are more serious in tone, but all of them share Stevenson's trademark wit and vivid storytelling style. Overall, New Arabian Nights is a delightful collection of stories that showcases Stevenson's versatility as a writer and his ability to create compelling tales that capture the imagination and transport the reader to far-off lands and times.

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.
