In the collection „New Arabian Nights", the descriptions of the adventures of the fantastic prince of Bohemia are replaced by the mysterious atmosphere of the „Pavilion on the Hill", vivid pictures of medieval France give way to the real facts of the series of villainous murders that formed the basis of the horror story „The Thief of Corpses". And, as always with Stevenson, the reader will be pleased with a tense entertaining plot, picturesque figurativeness of speech, and a refined style. The book is intended for a wide range of readers, especially for children of middle and senior school age.
