Product Details

Beautiful 1925 four-volume set collecting the personal letters of Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Edited by Sir Sidney Colvin and published by Charles Scribner’s Sons, these volumes offer a rare look into Stevenson’s actual thoughts, travels, friendships, illnesses, and writing life. The bindings are absolutely striking — deep red cloth with ornate gold decoration across the spines, deckled page edges, and rich old-world shelf presence. This is not just literary criticism or biography — these are Stevenson’s own words written across years of travel and adventure, including reflections from Scotland, Europe, and the South Seas. A wonderful set for collectors of literary history, Victorian adventure fiction, or decorative library editions. Condition: Attractive vintage condition with age wear consistent with use and shelving. Strong decorative display presence. Please review photos carefully for details.
