Description: Gorgeous collectable edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's timeless, classic adventure.
This new dark Collectable edition brings a fresh perspective on Stevenson's dark, celebrated evocation of duality: polite society undermined by the weakness deep within itself. Three of Stevenson's other dark tales reveal him to be a shrewd and skillful storyteller - The Body Snatcher, The Pavilion on the Links, The Story of a Lie. Little treasures, the FLAME TREE COLLECTABLE CLASSICS are chosen to create a delightful and timeless home library. Each stunning, gift edition features deluxe cover treatments, ribbon markers, luxury endpapers and gilded edges. The unabridged text is accompanied by a Glossary of Victorian and Literary terms produced for the modern reader.Brief description: Caroline McCracken-Flesher is Professor of English at the University of Wyoming, where she runs the Scotland program and directs the Center for Global Studies.
