What to expect

In 1887, Robert Louis Stevenson and his wife, Fanny, left England and sailed for the United States. A year later, they moved on again, steaming from San Francisco to the blue waters and lush islands of the South Pacific.

 

As Stevenson soaked up the exotic landscapes, he was fascinated by the mystery and lore of the islands. Seeking to capture the quality of the folktales he heard, he crafted short stories, filling them with the masterful suspense that has mesmerized readers for over one hundred years.

 

In addition to “The Bottle Imp,” this collection also includes “Markheim,” “Olalla,” and “Thrawn Janet.”
