First published in 1879, Edinburgh: Picturesque Notesis among the most vivid of Robert Louis Stevenson's writings. His passion for Auld Reekie never clouded his wry wit, and his enthusiasm for the picturesque detail and the savory anecdote will delight readers today as much as they scandalized his contemporaries. Perhaps best known as the author of Treasure Islandand other children's literature, Robert Louis Stevenson was a prolific novelist, playwright, essayist, and travel writer.
