There are, indeed, many higher; there are many of a nobler outline. It is no place of pilgrimage for the summary globe-trotter; but to one who lives upon its sides, Mount Saint Helena soon becomes a center of interest. It is the Mont Blanc of one section of the Californian Coast Range, none of its near neighbors rising to one-half its altitude. It looks down on much green, intricate country. It feeds in the spring-time many splashing brooks. From its summit you must have an excellent lesson of geography: seeing, to the south, San Francisco Bay, with Tamalpais on the one hand and Monte Diablo on the other; to the west and thirty miles away, the open ocean; eastward, across the corn-lands and thick tule swamps of Sacramento Valley, to where the Central Pacific railroad begins to climb the sides of the Sierras; and northward, for what I know, the white head of Shasta looking down on Oregon. . . . http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2193.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2193.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2193.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2193.mobi The Black Arrow Robert Louis Stevenson http://www.feedbooks.com/book/166 urn:isbn:0684188775 en 1884 Novels Romance Adventure In fifteenth-century England, when his father's murderer is revealed to be his guardian, seventeen-year-old Richard Shelton joins the fellowship of the Black Arrow in avenging the death, rescuing the woman he loves, and participating in the struggle between the Yorks and Lancasters in the War of the Roses. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/166.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/166.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/166.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/166.mobi The Master of Ballantrae Robert Louis Stevenson http://www.feedbooks.com/book/100 urn:isbn:0375759301 en 1889 Novels History Stevenson’s brooding historical romance demonstrates his most abiding theme—the elemental struggle between good and evil—as it unfolds against a hauntingly beautiful Scottish landscape, amid the fierce loyalties and violent enmities that characterized Scottish history. When two brothers attempt to split their loyalties between the warring factions of the 1745 Jacobite rising, one family finds itself tragically divided. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/100.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/100.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/100.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/100.mobi Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Robert Louis Stevenson http://www.feedbooks.com/book/95 urn:isbn:1593081316 en 1886 Novels Horror Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson and first published in 1886. It is about a London lawyer who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the misanthropic Edward Hyde. The work is known for its vivid portrayal of a split personality, split in the sense that within the same person there is both an apparently good and an evil personality each being quite distinct from each other; in mainstream culture the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" has come to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. This is different from multiple personality disorder where the different personalities do not necessarily differ in any moral sense. Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was an immediate success and one of Stevenson's best-selling works. Stage adaptations began in Boston and London within a year of its publication and it has gone on to inspire scores of major film and stage performances. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/95.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/95.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/95.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/95.mobi The New Arabian Nights Robert Louis Stevenson http://www.feedbooks.com/book/211 en 1882 Short Fiction Collections New Arabian Nights by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1882, is a collection of short stories previously published in magazines between 1877 and 1880.

For Christmas, Della decides to buy Jim a chain which costs twenty dollars for his prized pocket watch given to him by his father. To raise the funds, she has her prized long hair cut off and sold to make a wig. Meanwhile, Jim decides to sell his watch to buy Della a beautiful set of combs made out of tortoise shell for her lovely, knee-length brown hair. Although each is disappointed to find the gift they chose rendered useless, each is pleased with the gift they received, because it represents their love for one another. The true unselfish love that the characters, Jim and Della, share is greater than their possessions.
