Caroline McCracken-Flesher

This new edition brings a fresh perspective on Stevenson’s dark, celebrated evocation of duality: polite society undermined by the weakness deep within itself.Three of Stevenson’s other dark tales reveal him to be a shrewd and skillful storyteller – ‘The Body Snatcher’, ‘The Pavilion on the Links’, ‘The Story of a Lie’.Flame Tree Collector’s Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction, authors without whom the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best and most influential writers into a striking and collectable library.

He was a lifelong sufferer of tuberculosis and often travelled abroad in search of climates more healthy than his native Scotland. Finally he settled with his wife Frances, in Samoa, where he passed away in 1894.Caroline McCracken-Flesher (Introduction) is Professor of English at the University of Wyoming.
