This beautiful leather bound edition collects the greatest works of Robert Louis Stevenson, whose stories of excitement and adventure will never be forgotten. He wrote stories of chance and peril, pirates and buried gold. He told tales of good and evil, of men struggling with the darkest parts of their souls. Treasure Island is a thrilling tale of adventure, piracy, and buried treasure, following young Jim Hawkins as he embarks on a perilous voyage filled with treachery and danger. Prince Otto is a lesser-known romance set in the fictional kingdom of Grünewald, blending political intrigue with themes of personal honor and duty. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde explores the duality of human nature through the tragic transformation of Dr. Jekyll into his malevolent alter ego, Mr. Hyde, a chilling commentary on Victorian morality and repression. Kidnapped follows the harrowing journey of David Balfour, a young Scotsman who is betrayed by his uncle and embarks on a desperate struggle for survival amid the turbulent backdrop of 18th-century Scotland. The Black Arrow is a historical novel set during the Wars of the Roses, weaving a tale of adventure, chivalry, and vengeance as the young protagonist, Richard Shelton, seeks justice against those who wronged his family. The Master of Ballantrae presents a dark and dramatic family saga of rivalry, betrayal, and obsession, focusing on two brothers whose fates are tragically intertwined as they navigate shifting fortunes in a world marked by war and political unrest. David Balfour , also known as Catriona, serves as a sequel to Kidnapped, continuing David Balfour's journey as he navigates legal and political intrigue while remaining steadfast in his loyalty to Alan Breck Stewart and his quest for justice.
