The binding has a bump at the bottom edge. 350 pages, including Prince Otto, which is quite a long story.

 | 9. | Stevenson, Robert Louis; Treglown, Jeremy (edited by) The Lantern-Bearers and Other Essays
Lanham, Maryland, U.S.A. Cooper Square Pub 1999 First Cooper Square Edition Soft Cover New No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
"It is good finally to have roughly a quarter of Stevenson's essays available in one volume. . . . Their value lies in their vivacity and style; they exhibit a descriptive immediacy and a strong sense of character." - Library Journal. Stevenson's essays comprise an oft-overlooked trove of gems, intriguing in their content and generous in their scope. This collection of nearly three dozen of his best essays - the only anthology of its kind - spans his brief life and includes many of his most celebrated pieces and some others previously unpublished. Essays include the tender "Falling in Love"; the hilariously perceptive "The Character of Dogs"; his musings on human nature and its frailty in "An Apology for Idlers" and "Crabbed Age and Youth"; as well as his idiosyncratic views on dreams, umbrellas, political activism, and the art and craft of writing.This is a surprising collection of Stevenson's prose, evident wit, and enduring humanity. 290 pages including an index.
