The complexity and range of Robert Louis Stevenson's short
fiction reveals his genius perhaps more than any other medium.
Here, leading Stevenson scholar Barry Menikoff arranges and
introduces the complete selection of Stevenson's brilliant stories,
including the famed masterpiece "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde," as well as "The Beach of Falesa" and Stevenson's previously
uncollected stories. Arthur Conan Doyle has written that "
Stevenson's] short stories are certain to retain their position in
English literature. His serious rivals are few indeed." This Modern
Library Paperback Classics edition includes explanatory notes, a
Scots' Glossary, and a unique appendix dedicated to Stevenson's
influence on the "Oxford English Dictionary."
