Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer best known for Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Kidnapped. His work shaped modern adventure and psychological fiction and continues to find new readers more than a century after his death.

Lumos Books publishes adapted classic literature for modern readers. The Lumos editions of Stevenson's novels rework the original prose into clean modern English, keeping the voice, plot, and emotional arc intact.
