Description
A selection of short stories written by Robert Louis Stevenson. This volume includes the following unabridged works with music and sound effects: MARK
...
HEIM is the story of a man whose life is spiraling out of control. While Markheim is involved in a crime, a "visitor" suddenly appears on the scene who seems to know everything about him. In A LODGING FOR THE NIGHT a dissolute Parisian student finds himself forced into accepting the favors of a venerable and respected knight on a cold winter's evening in 1456. The ensuing dinner conversation is spellbinding. THE BODY SNATCHER is a supernatural thriller of crime and revenge. An anatomy class needs subjects, and two students become more deeply involved in their procurement than they had planned. A gothic masterpiece! STEVENSON AN ESSAY by Edmund Gosse is the last item on this volume. It is a superb review of Stevenson's brief life and it is beautifully written by one who knew the great author personally.
