It is with great delight and unbridled enthusiasm that I recount the acquisition of a most splendid volume containing seven cherished novels. This tome, a veritable treasure trove of adventure and intrigue, is a marvel to behold, binding together tales that traverse the vast expanse of human experience and the untamed frontiers of imagination.Within these pages, one will embark upon voyages to mysterious islands, confront dastardly pirates, and delve into the enigmatic duality of human nature. Each novel, carefully crafted, unfolds with a richness and depth that captures the essence of the times and places it portrays. The stories of 'Treasure Island,' 'Kidnapped,' and 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,' to name but a few, are rendered in all their original glory, inviting readers into worlds where courage, treachery, and wonder intermingle.The quality of this edition is exceptional, from the sturdy binding that promises longevity to the fine print that enhances readability. It is a compilation worthy of the most discerning collector, offering not merely a reading experience but an immersion into the realms of high adventure and profound reflection.In summation, this collection is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the boundless horizons of human creativity. Five hearty cheers for this magnificent volume that preserves and celebrates the legacy of these timeless narratives.

Very pleased! I've never read all of these yet, so now feel extra inspired to do so! Beautiful edition! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Treasure Island (1883), Prince Otto (1885), Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde (1886), Kidnapped (1886), The Black Arrow (1888), The Master Of Ballantrae (1889), David Balfour (1893) . . . . . . . . .This is without doubt the finest collection of Robert Louis Stevenson novels, all neatly gathered together into one single volume! The seven titles that are contained within this Canterbury Classics special edition are his best-selling and most popular works of literature ever produced! During that time period between 1883 and 1893, came the golden period where Robert Louis Stevenson created some of the most memorable adventures of the late Victorian era!

For those who love the works of Robert Louis Stevenson, this book is a real treat to whoever owns it - a priceless gem that will provide several hours of great enjoyment and last for many years to come . . . . . .I, Tony Strawson, rate this book with five stars because it ticks all the requirements one would expect in this Canterbury Classics edition!!!

Very small type font but otherwise a very beautiful book and timeless stories.

Classics, will read it all.

I've only read 3 of the 7 novels in this collection. They are Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and The Black Arrow. At some point in the future I will finish by reading the remaining 4. Treasure Island is fun as an adventure story. It sets a tone, however, for characters turning heel. Characters flip their allegiances without sufficient explanation or contextual framework, such as Long John Silver. I also noticed, this being my first Stevenson, that great actions scene are not described in vivid detail or that the action was not keeping my attention. In any case, Treasure Island would stimulate the young, boyish imagination.The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde thrives on stoic characters, intellectuals reminiscent of Holmes and Watson in their perception and perseverance. Even more English than Treasure Island, the curious professionals Gabriel John Utterson and Hastie Lanyon represent an old moral guard and the proper way to exercise intellectual faculties as governors of society. The point of view of the narrative may surprise readers who may think this story is supposed to be more horror than symbolism.I have to stop at 3 novels for now because of the third: The Black Arrow. Although the story begins with testosterone-challenging images of a Dystopia, the kind of story that posts the sign "No Girls Allowed," it eventually degenerates into a goofy romance. Worse, it becomes far too long with too many characters turning heel and for no good reason. The problem with this is the question readers must have about the worth of the main character, Richard Shelton, with all the unreliability of traitors or mercenaries. So far I must say simply that Stevenson's gift was not the characterization of young love. Stevenson himself regretted the overly-wrought Medieval language, which I found skillful and of linguistic value ... except for how much longer it drew out a story which should have been half its length

Love, love, love this series. Quality of these leather bound books from Canterbury Classics are amazing. I ordered one, and I couldn’t resist not adding more. They are a touch better than the leather bounds exclusive from BN, but as you can see in the picture, they look/play nice together. The Stevenson collection has a luxurious brown leather with a beautiful sheen. It’s much better in person than in pictures.

These Canterbury leather bond books are beautiful, well made and worth double what I paid.
