Catriona

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Overview

This volume contains Robert Louis Stevenson's 1893 novel, "Catriona". It is a sequel to his previous novel "Kidnapped", and continues the story of David Balfour. In the first part of the novel, Balfour attempts to gain justice for James Stewart, who has been arrested and charged with complicity in the Appin Murder. Another kidnapping, however, foils his plans. This book constitutes a must-read for those who have enjoyed "Kidnapped", and it would make for a great addition to collections of Stevenson's seminal work. Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (1850 - 1894) was a famous Scottish essayist, novelist, poet, and travel writer. Some of his best known works include "Treasure Island" and "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde". Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

About the Author

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish author of novels, travelogues and poetry. Afflicted from an early age with an illness that affected his lungs, Stevenson still traveled the world and produced several iconic examples of adventure fiction, including Treasure Island and Kidnapped as well as a beloved collection of poetry for the young, A Child’s Garden of Verses. The author’s vigorous style and clear eye for character ensured that many of his creations, Long John Silver, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde among them, have become literary immortals.
