Life of Robert Stevenson
The addresses made to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and theInstitution of Civil Engineers, at the opening meetings of thesession--1851, contained obituary notices of Robert Stevenson. Thelate Alan Stevenson, his eldest son, also wrote a short Memoir of hisfather, which was printed for private circulation.But Robert Stevenson's long practice as a Civil Engineer--theimportant works he executed--and the valuable contributions he made toEngineering and Scientific literature, seem to me to require a fullernotice of his life than has hitherto been given.This has been attempted in the following Memoir, which will be foundto consist of extracts from Mr. Stevenson's Professional Reports--ofnotes fr...

Robert Louis Stevenson
The short life of Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) was as adventurous as almost anything in his fiction: his travels, illness, struggles to become a writer, relationships with his volatile wife and step-family, friendships and quarrels have fascinated readers for over a century. In his time he was both engineer and aesthete, dutiful son and reckless lover, Scotsman and South Sea Islander, Covenanter and atheist. Stevenson's books, including Treasure Island, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Kidnapped, have achieved world fame; others -- The Master of Ballantrae, A Child's Garden of Verses, Travels with a Donkey -- remain all-time favourites.

Treasure Island & Kidnapped
Before Captain Jack Sparro and The Pirates of the Caribbean, there were Treasure Island and Kidnapped. Two novels of derring-do and adventure among pirates on the high seas. Thrill with our young heroes as they swashbuckle through one adventure after another. Collected here together are the two books that all other pirate adventures are measured against.
