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.

Editorial Reviews

Catriona so reeks and hums with genius that there is no refuge for the desperate reader but in straightforward prostration.”

Henry James

Frederick Davidson delivers the text of this nineteenth-century novel with a thoroughly convincing variety of Scottish brogues and English accents.”
