{"product_id":"9781847494092","title":"New Arabian Nights : Annotated Edition by Robert Louis Stevenson","description":"Stevenson published this collection of his early fiction in 1882, after the pieces had appeared in various magazines. The first half features two popular detective-story cycles, The Suicide Club and The Rajah's Diamonds, which deal with a macabre secret society and the intrigues and escapades involving exotic jewels. The second half brings together unrelated pieces, including the seminal `The Pavilion on the Links' - described by Conan Doyle as the first short story in the world - which is set in a cottage surrounded by quicksand and tells the story of two old friends who become rivals for the affection of a woman.   An eclectic, entertaining compilation, New Arabian Nights represented a milestone in Stevenson's creative development and confirmed his reputation as one of the finest storytellers in the English language.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307829145973,"sku":"9781847494092","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781847494092.jpg?v=1762805460","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781847494092","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
