"Damrosch brings to Stevenson's life the calm, humane interpretive powers that he deployed with such success in . . . The Club. . . . [An] excellent book."--Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) is famed for Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but he published many other novels and stories before his death at forty-four. Despite lifelong ill health, he had immense vitality; Mark Twain said his eyes burned with "smoldering rich fire." Born in Edinburgh to a family of lighthouse engineers, Stevenson set many stories in Scotland but sought travel and adventure in a life as romantic as his novels. "I loved a ship," he wrote, "as a man loves burgundy or daybreak." The adventures were shared with his free-spirited American wife, Fanny, with whom he moved to the South Pacific.

Samoan friends named Stevenson "Storyteller." Reading, he said, "should be absorbing and voluptuous; we should gloat over a book, be rapt clean out of ourselves." His own books have been translated into dozens of languages. Jorge Luis Borges called his stories "one of the forms of happiness," and other modernist masters as various as Proust, Nabokov, and Calvino have paid tribute to his greatness as a literary artist.

In Storyteller, Leo Damrosch brings to life an unforgettable personality, illuminated by many who knew Stevenson well and drawing from thousands of the writer's letters in his many voices and moods--playful, imaginative, at times tragic.

My Teen Son’s Favorite Shirt Right Now
This ended up becoming my teen son’s favorite shirt really quickly. He reaches for it all the time because it’s lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear without feeling stiff or heavy. The material feels soft with a little stretch to it, and it holds up nicely after washing without coming out wrinkled. It also has a clean look to it that works for casual wear but still looks a little more put together than a basic t-shirt. It’s especially nice for warmer weather because the fabric breathes well and doesn’t feel clingy. Overall, this was a really good buy and one of those shirts that gets worn constantly because it just fits and feels good.

Very dark navy.
This is so dark it almost looks black when I received it. Not the color I thought it would be from the picture. Fit was good though for my son that is 6'2" and 275 pounds. Only returned because the color didn't work for family pictures.

Nice fall shirt
The material on this is great. Its soft and smooth. The fit is nice around the chest and stomach, although the sleeves seem a bit too long for me (I'm 5'9 and ordered the large). Its not very thick, so it's a nice early fall, late spring shirt. The only thing I don't like is that the fabric retains wrinkles. If this isn't hung up while warm, it will hold on to wrinkles

Stylish, comfortable long‑sleeve polo
Size: X-Large, Color: Royal Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Royal Blue
I recently tried out this Lexiart long‑sleeve polo and was pleasantly surprised by how well it balances style and everyday wear. The textured knit gives it enough visual interest (so it doesn’t feel like just another plain jersey shirt), and the slim‑fit design helped create a clean silhouette without being overly tight. The collar and button‑placket feel more polished than a typical tee, which makes it easy to dress up a bit for smart‑casual settings. The fabric is comfortable and breathable enough to wear indoors or layered under a jacket. The length and fit were generally good — the sleeves hit just right and the body length worked for casual wear.
