About this title

Review:

For most moderately literate Americans, Stevenson is primarily known for his rousing boys' adventure books (''Treasure Island'', ''Kidnapped''), his children's poems and ''The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde''. Both Long John Silver and the villainous Edward Hyde are given their due in this book, alongside a series of short verses and fables illustrated by the likes of Maxon Crumb, Shary Flenniken, Hunt Emerson, Roger Langridge, and Johnny Ryan, plus an exquisitely rendered version of ''The Bottle Imp'' by Lance Tooks. The fables prove especially fascinating as they show the writer in a much more witty and cynical mode than his ''Child's Garden of Verses'' voice. --Bill Sherman, Blogcritics
