Synopsis "Fables"

"Peculiar and provocative, graceful, funny, sometimes eerie, and always beautiful, Stevenson's Fables are true masterpieces of art, wit, and style." -Association for Scottish Literary Studies, 2018This jacketed hardcover edition of Fables (1896), by Robert Louis Stevenson, represents the author's attempt to master the age-old genre of fables. Although not all stories have been as popular, many have been highly praised as great works of fiction. These include "Poor Thing" and "The Song of the Morrow," both of which have earned their place alongside stories by the Brothers Grimm and Perrault, Andersen, and Lang as immortal classics.

(Edinburgh, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) British novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist. He entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of sixteen to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lighthouse engineer, a career he would later abandon. His nautical studies allowed him to come into contact with seafaring people and customs, key ingredients in some of his most famous works. His renowned work, Treasure Island, was published under the pseudonym Captain George North in 1881. In 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one of the great classics of literature, was released. He died on the island of Samoa, at his home, Vailima.
