Robert Louis Stevenson : The Wrong Box before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Wrong Box:

7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. "Nothing like a little judicious levity"By James HissomI'ts great to see this priceless little book so affordably back in print. I'm not sure that it's ever had a big American following, but for some years the Times of London had to limit its writers to only one allusion to the novel per issue. (My review title was an oft-repeated line.) The colloration of Stevenson and stepson Lloyd Osborne, it's a seamless integration of comic light adventure, mystery, novel of manners and high-handed farce, all in some of the purest English prose you'll ever read. It's one of those books you end up rereading at least twice, reading aloud to anyone who'll listen, and giving at Christmas - in short, a classic. (The film version cited on this page has a perfect cast but cuts and alters the plot pretty badly - and this is simply one of those books, like most of Dickens and Fitzgerald, that has to be read to be really appreciated.) I'm not familiar with the publisher, but this may be one of those short-run affairs that should be got while it's there.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy DC LadyWonderfully complicated and hilarious tale.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. a new kind of RLSBy TomRAlthough this sounds like a mystery novel, it's really more of a humorous piece, not your typical Robert Louis Stevenson. It centers around the mis-identification of an accident victim in the countryside, the subsequent mis-delivery of his remains when returned to London, and the consequences of all that for the family fortune. A light read with some very clever bits.
