The letters are intensely alive, rich and comical... Whichever of Stevenson's books readers like best, they will find something absorbing about it here. Mehew has made his selection adroitly, as well as with formidable expertise. Jeremy Treglown, Los Angeles Times Book Review The book is quite splendid and a marvelous read. The Expository Times
