Fables

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Overview

"Peculiar and provocative, graceful, funny, sometimes eerie, and always beautiful, Stevenson's Fables are true masterpieces of art, wit, and style."

-Association for Scottish Literary Studies, 2018

This jacketed hardcover edition of Fables (1896), by Robert Louis Stevenson, represents the author's attempt to master the age-old genre of fables. Although not all stories have been as popular, many have been highly praised as great works of fiction. These include "Poor Thing" and "The Song of the Morrow," both of which have earned their place alongside stories by the Brothers Grimm and Perrault, Andersen, and Lang as immortal classics.
