Robert Louis Stevenson Greenwich Unabridged Classics 1983 Hardcover 4 Novels Illustrated

Robert Louis Stevenson is a 1983 illustrated hardcover in the Greenwich Unabridged Library Classics series, published by Chatham River Press, containing Treasure Island, The Master of Ballantrae, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Kidnapped.

The dark green textured covers have bright gold and red decorations and remain in good condition, while the page edges have noticeable brown spotting and the interior paper shows age toning.

These four unabridged Stevenson novels bring together pirate adventure, a family rivalry, a story of a divided identity, and a young man's struggle through the Scottish Highlands. The 583-page collection offers several of his best-known stories in one illustrated volume, with a decorated binding that also makes it a handsome book for a classic literature shelf.
