    Treasure Island

    It is a breathless journey and the closest thing to a real pirate adventure without an eye patch and a time machine... It is a unique work of genius—Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis FowlThere are few novels which grip so thrillingly as those first read in childhood, and for me none which has quite matched the excitement of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island—P.D. JamesWho can think of a pirate without conjuring up the image of Long John Silver?—Daily MailSo what makes these different to any other set of classics? In a moment of inspiration Random House had the bright idea of actually asking Key stage 2 children what extra ingredients they could add to make children want to read. And does it work? Well, put it this way...my 13-year-old daughter announced that she had to read a book over the summer holiday and, without any prompting, spotted The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas...and proceeded to read it! Now, if you knew my 13-year-old daughter, you would realise that this is quite remarkable. She reads texts, blogs and tags by the thousand - but this is the first book she has read since going to high school, so all hail Vintage Classics!—National Association for the Teaching of English

  8. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
    1. Robert Louis Stevenson

    Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

    Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850. The son of a prosperous civil engineer, he was expected to follow the family profession but was finally allowed to study law at Edinburgh University. Stevenson reacted forcibly against the Presbyterianism of both his city's professional classes and his devout parents, but the influence of Calvinism on his childhood informed the fascination with evil that is so powerfully explored in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson suffered from a severe respiratory disease from his twenties onwards, leading him to settle in the gentle climate of Samoa with his American wife, Fanny Osbourne.

    Virginibus Puerisque

    "Virginibus Puerisque, and Other Papers" is a celebrated collection of essays by Robert Louis Stevenson that explores the complexities of human life, youth, and the transition into adulthood. The title, Latin for "For Boys and Girls," sets the stage for a series of meditations on love, marriage, and the fleeting nature of time. Stevenson's prose is characterized by its charm, wit, and philosophical depth, offering readers a window into the late Victorian perspective on morality and personal growth. Beyond the titular essay, the volume includes famous papers such as "Crabbed Age and Youth," "An Apology for Idlers," and "Aes Triplex." These writings challenge the rigid societal norms of his day, advocating for a life lived with passion and curiosity rather than mere industry. Stevenson discusses the virtues of leisure, the inevitability of death, and the importance of maintaining a youthful spirit throughout one's life. This collection showcases Stevenson not just as a master storyteller, but as a profound essayist and thinker. "Virginibus Puerisque, and Other Papers" remains a foundational text in the tradition of the personal essay, blending autobiographical reflection with universal truths.

  12. Weir of Hermiston
    1. Robert Louis , Stevenson

    Weir of Hermiston

    "Weir of Hermiston, the Misadventures of John Nicholson" presents two distinct narratives by the celebrated author Robert Louis Stevenson, capturing the breadth of his literary talent. "Weir of Hermiston" is a powerful, atmospheric tragedy centered on the irreconcilable rift between Lord Justice-Clerk Adam Weir and his son, Archie. Set in the 18th-century Scottish Borders, this unfinished masterpiece is lauded for its psychological complexity and its exploration of the harsh realities of law and morality. Stevenson's command of dialogue and setting creates a haunting portrait of a family divided by duty and temperament. Accompanying this major work is "The Misadventures of John Nicholson," a lively novella that follows a young man's erratic journey through a series of unfortunate events across two continents. Moving between Edinburgh and California, the story blends humor and suspense as it examines the themes of reputation and redemption. This collection offers a rich immersion into Stevenson's fascination with the duality of man and his deep connection to his Scottish heritage. Both works remain essential reading for those seeking to understand the evolution of Victorian fiction and the enduring legacy of one of Scotland's greatest writers. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
