An Everyman Classic.

Stevenson was a superb essayist, always humane, humorous and perceptive, combining perfectly his talent for fine writing with sound common sense. An avid and discerning reader, his critical writing provides insights still valid today, whilst his candid discussion of his own foibles heightens his appeal as a lay moralist.

His essays 'Ordered South' and 'A Chapter On Dreams' are well known; less familiar are his writings on Pepys, Burns, the philosophy of umbrellas and the genesis of 'Treasure Island' - all now available in paperback for the first time. Claire Harman has also included a selection of Stevenson's poems from 'A Child's Garden Of Verses', 'Underwoods' and 'Ballads', together with his volume 'Prayers', written for his family in Samoa.
