About this ebook
Virginibus Puerisque represents the legendary author's first collection of personal essays. Far from being a droll affair they are playful and spirited, they are written in defiance of the hardship of everyday life and the contemptuous philistines who rage against the arts. These essays are here to calm and help, they are positive reflections on things we all worry about. In 'Childs Play' Stevenson sooths our fears over lost childhoods, and then takes us on a sweeping orchestration of bravery in 'The English Admirals'. The essays are playful and thoughtful and absolutely perfect for a calm commute home.-
Author
Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson was born on 13 November 1850, changing his second name to ‘Louis’ at the age of eighteen. He has always been loved and admired by countless readers and critics for ‘the excitement, the fierce joy, the delight in strangeness, the pleasure in deep and dark adventures’ found in his classic stories and, without doubt, he created some of the most horribly unforgettable characters in literature and, above all, Mr. Edward Hyde.
