Title page and editor's note within elaborate borders of English rose, Scottish thistle, and Irish shamrock motifs; a map. Neat contemporary gift inscription to first blank. Spine a touch sunned, slight splaying to covers, a tiny hole to front joint, edges a trifle rubbed, still a very attractive binding, faint foxing to first and last few leaves, otherwise clean and unmarked.

Treasure Island (1883) and Kidnapped (1886) were the first of Stevenson's novels to be published by Cassell, both first serialized in Young Folks, then afterwards published in book form, and they remained among the best-sellers on Cassell's list for many years.
