About the Book
Robert Louis Stevenson's genius lay in his ability to move seamlessly between genres, and this collection proves it. Treasure Island, first published in 1883, is the definitive pirate adventure — a rip-roaring tale of buried treasure, mutiny and moral ambiguity told through the eyes of young Jim Hawkins, and the source of many of our most enduring pirate tropes, from treasure maps marked with an X to the parrot-shouldered buccaneer. Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, published in 1886, is a masterpiece of psychological horror, exploring the duality of human nature through the chilling transformation of the respectable Dr Jekyll into the monstrous Mr Hyde — a story so influential that "Jekyll and Hyde" has entered everyday language. Kidnapped, from 1886, follows young David Balfour through betrayal, shipwreck and the Scottish Highlands in a gripping tale of survival and loyalty set against real historical events. Together these three works display Stevenson's mastery of pace, atmosphere and character, and this single, beautifully produced leather-bound volume brings them together in a format worthy of their stature, with sewn binding and premium paper designed to last a lifetime on any bookshelf.
About the Author
