<div>Scottish novelist, poet, and essayist Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) was a writer of power and originality, who penned such classics as <i>Treasure Island, Kidnapped,</i> and <i>The Weir of Hermiston</i>. The editor has collected in convenient form Stevenson's short fiction, including the complete <i>New Arabian Nights</i> and <i>The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</i>, as well as ghost stories, medieval romances, farces, horror stories, and the <i>South Sea Tales.</i> This volume amply illustrates Stephenson's wide range and enduring appeal.</div>
