Edinburgh

"We are in the company of an agreeable and relaxed guide
giving us an anecdotal run-down on Edinburgh over a cup of coffee." Alexander
McCall Smith



Robert Louis Stevenson's gloriously vivid portrait of
Edinburgh continues to beguile and entertain the modern reader over 150 years
after it was first written.



A trusty and witty tour guide, Stevenson leads the reader on
an unforgettable journey through the city, bringing to life its most engaging
characters and landmarks. Many of the buildings, places and people he
introduces in Edinburgh went on to feature in his timeless classic
novels, including Kidnapped, Treasure Island and The Strange
Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.



In a beautiful hardback gift edition, this is a fascinating celebration
of historic Edinburgh, written in Stevenson's fresh and readable prose.
