Publisher's Synopsis
Robert Louis Stevenson was one of the greatest authors of the nineteenth century. Stevenson still ranks as one of the most translated authors in history. Classic books such as Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are still widely read today and have been made into many critically acclaimed films throughout the years. Weir of Hermiston is a novel that was left unfinished after Stevenson's sudden death in 1894. The book is set during the Napoleonic Wars and tells the story of Archie Weir, the son of a cruel judge who is sent to live on a property in Hermiston.
