About this ebook
A Scottish lost treasures collection of classic adventure stories for the young reader. Bundled by subject matter rather than author, the books complement each other and create a compelling trilogy. "Palimpsest's eClassics series, Scottish Lost Treasures, shows us how much poorer Britain's cultural heritage would be without Scottish writers ... The best example I've seen of how curation and presentation can bring old books to new audiences" - The Observer "This strikes me as a fantastic venture, and one I hope will expand further" - Professor Willy Maley, University of Glasgow, Scotland on Sunday

About the author
R. L. Stevenson (1850-1894) was born in Edinburgh in 1850 and was a Scottish novelist, travel writer, essayist and poet. He spent a year on the French Riviera to recuperate from ill-health and whilst there developed his love of art. Three years spent touring the Pacific and South Seas resulted in some travel writing and formed the backdrop for many of his novels. Best known for Kidnapped and Treasure Island, Stevenson was a literary celebrity during his lifetime and now ranks among the 30 most translated authors in the world. Stevenson died in Samoa aged 44.
R. M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) was born in 1825 in Edinburgh. He was a Scottish writer of children's fiction who wrote more than 100 books. In addition to writing adventure stories for the young he was also an accomplished artist. Stevenson, Barrie and William Golding all recognised Ballantyne as an influence on their work. He died in Rome in 1894.
