The sequel to Kidnapped, written after an interval of six years, marks, as is pointed out in the chapter on the former work, a notable development of Stevenson's powers. In Kidnapped the Appin murder is a mere ghmpse ; in Catriona the story is deeply involved with the trial which followed it and with the personages which figured in this piece of the aftermath of the '45 in the Highlands. It is historical in a much larger measure and closer relation than the tale of which it is the continuation ; it depends so much less on the element of excitement, and so much more on its drawings of people, that the two scarcely make a homogeneous work.

La isla del tesoro
La isla del tesoro, un clásico de la literatura escocesa, y representada ya en diferentes formas, cuenta la historia de unos marineros que zarpan en búsqueda de un tesoro escondido. Desde el misterioso personaje que entrega el mapa, hasta los piratas que se amotinan en contra del capitán, y, sobre todo, los heroicos y temerarios actos del joven Jim Hawkins que los ayudan a sobrevivir en la isla; la historia está llena de aventuras. Es normal que las vidas de los autores se reflejen en sus escritos, y la vida de Robert Louis Stevenson no se queda atrás. Parecido a un nómada, Robert pasó mucho tiempo de su vida viajando por muchos lugares del mundo debido a su terrible estado de salud; por lo tanto, era maestro en escribir sobre aventuras. Es justo en uno de sus viajes, donde muere, dejando atrás un legado de fantasía y terror.
Nuevas noches árabes
Las historias que recoge esta colección son consideradas lo mejor de la obra stevensoniana y pioneras de la tradición cuentística literaria inglesa. Jorge Luis Borges no sólo sumó este volumen a su biblioteca personal; también declaró: «Desde la niñez, Robert Louis Stevenson ha sido para mí una de las formas de la felicidad». La primera mitad de este volumen nos presenta dos populares ciclos de misterio, «El club de los suicidas» y «El diamante del rajá», obras maestras del género detectivesco y de aventuras. La segunda mitad nos ofrece relatos independientes, incluyendo «El pabellón de las dunas», situado en una cabaña rodeada de arenas movedizas, que nos cuenta la historia de dos viejos amigos que rivalizan por el amor de una mujer. Arthur Conan Doyle declaró: «„El pabellón de las dunas“ es la cumbre de la obra de Stevenson y el mejor cuento literario del mundo». "Robert Louis Stevenson creó una forma de arte. Inventó un género que no existe fuera de su obra. Nuevas noches árabes es tan única en el mundo como las antiguas Mil y una noches , y no debe su auténtico ingenio al modelo que imita: Stevenson tejió aquí una excepcional especie de textura, fabricó una singular especie de atmósfera que no se parece a nada más." G.K. Chesterton
