The Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin and Records of a Family of Engineers

From the writer of Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, comes another classic adventure. Fleeming Jenkin was a delightful character, more remarkable than anything he ever did. He attracted Stevenson by his sterling quality of friendship and his brave attitude toward life, his outstanding moral value, and his untiring intellectual effort. It was good fortune to Fleeming Jenkin that Stevenson should have left us his portrait; it was to the credit of Stevenson that he knew so well the worth of the man. Stevenson came of a family of engineers, builders of lighthouses. In the Records he has left a fascinating record of a notable family, pursuing their romantic and heroic careers.
