The Adventure Collection by Robert Louis Stevenson
Includes five tales of extraordinary heroism, marvelous intrigue, and exceptional courage that have inspired and amazed readers for generations: "Gulliver's Travels", "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood", "The Jungle Book", "Treasure Island", and "White Fang".
Scottish novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet Robert Louis Stevenson is best known for his works Treasure Island, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Kidnapped, all written between the years of 1883 and 1886. To this day, Treasure Island remains one of the most memorable adventure novels for children. Nobel Prize winner, British poet laureate, essayist, novelist, journalist, and short story writer Rudyard Kipling wrote for both children and adults, with many of his stories and poems focusing on British imperialism in India. His works enjoyed great popularity during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including The Jungle Book, Kim, Puck of Pook's Hill, and Rewards and Fairies. Jonathan Swift was an Irish satirist best known for Gulliver's Travels, immensely popular when written in 1726 and now considered a classic in English literature. American author and journalist Jack London is best remembered for his novels The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906), both considered American classics. He also wrote short stories, plays, nonfiction, and political essays and was heavily involved in social activism. His writings about the Klondike Gold Rush, in particular, are widely enjoyed today. Author, artist, and teacher Howard Pyle was one of America's leading illustrators, educating and inspiring a generation of artists. In 1883, The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was published; its detailed and thoughtful design set the bar high for book production in the United States.
