The Wrong Box by Lloyd Osbourne, Robert Louis Stevenson
5.0
This was very fun!
The Wrong Box is one of the lesser-known works by Robert Louis Stevenson, and I happened to own a copy. Actually, I've owned a copy for a decade, so it was high time to get to it :D
The book revolves around a bunch of relatives - two brothers, their cousin and uncle, his ward, etc. And all of them are up to no good :) There is a grand piano, a misplaced corpse, a dying business and a huge sum of money - so, naturally, shenanigans ensue.
The characters are comic in their self-centeredness, attempts to get the upper hand end in hilarious situations, and the book flies by in a moment. It was a quick, light read, nostalgic in its naivety of humor. Loved it!
