About the author
Robert Louis Stevenson
6,876 books6,956 followersRobert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov.
Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the Western canon.

When I received my Kindle, my oldest son got me to understand that my device could be used to store huge volumes of books on this relatively small contraption. I knew immediately that I wanted to load up on classics. When THE COMPLETE NOVELS OF ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON was published in 2015, I grabbed it for a very low price and decided that I would read it completely, with the express intent to write a review of the entire compilation.
At this time in 2022, I have finished with my objective and feel awesomely accomplished. After four years, I have read all fifteen novels gathered here and some additional works by Stevenson that were excluded from this collection. Overall, I have found the works to be spectacular (I know that I break no new ground here. Some will actually say, "Duh!")
There were some works that were difficult to understand. (In Stevenson's attempt at authenticity when emulating Scottish dialects for instance, he goes so overboard that a modern audience would struggle to parse the verbiage.) I have complained about this before, but my ability to overcome the challenge is one of the reasons I take such pride in this accomplishment.
I came to Stevenson for Dr. Jekyll and Treasure Island, but I fell in love with The Master of Ballantrae and the Black Arrow. The Body Snatcher is a short story, but that story is creepy AF. So yeah, 5 stars for Stevenson's body of work.
