"Damrosch brings to Stevenson's life the calm, humane interpretive powers that he deployed with such success in . . . The Club. . . . [An] excellent book."--Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) is famed for Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but he published many other novels and stories before his death at forty-four. Despite lifelong ill health, he had immense vitality; Mark Twain said his eyes burned with "smoldering rich fire." Born in Edinburgh to a family of lighthouse engineers, Stevenson set many stories in Scotland but sought travel and adventure in a life as romantic as his novels. "I loved a ship," he wrote, "as a man loves burgundy or daybreak." The adventures were shared with his free-spirited American wife, Fanny, with whom he moved to the South Pacific.

Samoan friends named Stevenson "Storyteller." Reading, he said, "should be absorbing and voluptuous; we should gloat over a book, be rapt clean out of ourselves." His own books have been translated into dozens of languages. Jorge Luis Borges called his stories "one of the forms of happiness," and other modernist masters as various as Proust, Nabokov, and Calvino have paid tribute to his greatness as a literary artist.

In Storyteller, Leo Damrosch brings to life an unforgettable personality, illuminated by many who knew Stevenson well and drawing from thousands of the writer's letters in his many voices and moods--playful, imaginative, at times tragic.

Strong and very convenient
Size: 50 Count
These paper bowls are sturdy and hold up well even with hot or liquid foods. They don’t get soggy easily and are microwave safe, which makes them very convenient. The size is also great for soups, cereal, or leftovers. Good quality for disposable bowls and very practical for everyday use.

Sturdy, great value, very utilitarian
Size: 50 Count
Exactly what I wanted. Exact quality thickness and sturdiness. Only small downside is they're coated in a wax like substance and stick together so you have to pry them apart and if you microwave something, it tends to meld together and also stick into the bowl. But I still love them especially the price.

Smells Soooooo Good
This lotion was recommended to me for the winter months. It makes my skin feel super soft, it feels good, easy to rub in, very moisturizing but noy greasy, the scent is perfect but can be a bit too strong for a boy/man. The quality is amazing and the appearance is appealing.
