Description:
Although he’s known primarily as the author of Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson began his career as an essayist. This collection includes fifteen of Stevenson’s most poignant and personal essays on deep-sea diving off the coast of Scotland, child’s play, death, the medieval poet-thief François Villon, surreal San Francisco, insomnia, and Stevenson’s quirky enjoyment of “unpleasant places.”
