Robert Louis Stevenson's Edinburgh Days (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson's Edinburgh DaysWe can conjure up the image of the future author at this stage, in a hat bulky with pro tective ear-bows, absurdly chubby of cheek, with his dark eyes alertly noting the things of colour and life within his range, or contemplating other juveniles with placid condescension, as in this wordless state of existence they passed one another by with exchange of infantine smiles. He also studied the world from the windows of his home. The students of botany, hurrying in the May mornings to their lecture among the ¿owers, might often have seen a small child held up to the window to gaze at the lads, who were almost as early astir as the dust-carts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
