The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, has long been recognized as one of the finest and most delightful of letter-writers. However a great many of his letters have never been published; and one of those that have, many were abridged or expurgated. This definitive eight-volume edition brings together nearly 2,800 letters, almost two-thirds of which have never been in print before. Its publication, in the centenary year of Stevenson's death, is a major literary event.
