My mom gave me this book for Christmas, and it sat on my shelf for six months because it didn't look interesting. Finally forced myself to pick it up....and it's beautiful. Not one of his deepest stories perhaps, but very sweet and touching. I loved it.
This is another of Stevenson's epic adventure stories that follows a French soldier as he is taken capture after enrolling in Napoleon's army under a pseudonym. The story follows his adventures with the army, his time as a prisoner and his travels around Britain following his release. It is written with Stevenson's typical skill at story telling and his sense of adventure. A fabulously traditional adventure story.
