The Misadventures of John Nicholson

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. The Misadventures of John Nicholson is a classic short story about a young man who leaves Edinburgh to go to the United States in order to get away from his judgmental father.
