THE WRECKER

by Stevenson, Robert Louis and Osbourne, Lloyd

  • Used

  • first
1892. Illustrated by William Hole and W.L. Metcalf. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1892. 8 pp undated ads (listing this title as "In Press"). Original light brown cloth decorated in grey-green and black. First American Edition (published two days after the English) of this mystery involving the disappearance of a ship -- based upon an actual occurrence the Stevensons encountered en route to Samoa. A volume on the expanded list of J.K. Lilly's "89 Good Novels of the Sea," THE WRECKER is often cited as the book that bridges the gap between Stevenson's European/American past and his Pacific future (such as it would be). Stevenson's stepson actually wrote each chapter, which would then be rewritten by RLS before the next chapter was begun. This American edition is considerably scarcer than Cassell's London edition -- and also comes with a highly-decorative binding. This is a fine copy, the cleanest we have ever seen. Beinecke 559.
