My husband is fond of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, so when I picked up The Complete Robert Louis Stevenson: Novels, Short Stories, Travels, Non-Fiction, Plays and Poems published by Bybliotech, I knew we were in for a treat.Not only was Treasure Island included, but Stevenson’ novels (finished and unfinished), short stories, poems, plays and more are also in the compilation. I had forgotten that Jekyll & Hyde belonged to Stevenson (an old favorite of mine), and was pleasantly surprised to discover new gems, such as Story of the Destroying Angel (a short story) and the non-fiction piece Prayers - Written for Family Use in Vailima.The editing is thorough, the layout of the digital pages is intuitive and attractive, and I am well pleased by the depth of creation that I’ve yet to plumb. This is one of those collections that our family will return to time and time again. “Ah me! but he that left you with a smile/Forgets you not.” Beautiful!
