About this audiobook
Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson was born on 13 November 1850, changing his second name to ‘Louis’ at the age of eighteen. He has always been loved and admired by countless readers and critics for ‘the excitement, the fierce joy, the delight in strangeness, the pleasure in deep and dark adventures’ found in his classic stories and, without doubt, he created some of the most horribly unforgettable characters in literature and, above all, Mr. Edward Hyde.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this novel, chancing upon a film version of the story shortly afterwards. The escape from Edinburgh Castle may reflect a real event in 1799, when French prisoners-of-war were assisted in their escape by the Revd William Fitzsimmons, the incumbent of the Cowgate Episcopal Chapel; the escapees in 1799 headed for a ship in the Firth of Forth.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I would call it a 19th century bathtub book (def: book suitable for reading in the bathtub). Writing is lovely, characterizations are disarming, storyline is farfetched. Its near-fatal drawback: RLS died before finishing it and the publisher gave it to Mr. Quiller-Couch to wrap up based on Stevenson's notes. Unfortunately, he turned a charming treat into a boring slog.
