The Isle of Voices and Other Stories

This collection gathers ten of Stevenson's shorter tales from the 1870s and 1880s: English and Scottish pieces of wreck, haunting, and obsession, two Hawaiian stories of magic and bargain, and a pair of uncollected narratives. Settings include a lonely house on the links, a Hebridean island, Spain, and the Pacific. Typical subjects are a treasure that ruins its finder, a bottle that grants wishes at a price, and a vanishing island of voices. There is no continuous plot. The book is a selection of his adult short fiction, not the novels Treasure Island or Kidnapped.
