By Robert Louis Stevenson

Favorite quote: “At length, Edinburgh, with her satellite hills and all the sloping country, are sheeted up in white. If it has happened in the dark hours, nurses pluck their children out of bed and run with them to some commanding window, whence they may see the change that has been worked upon earth’s face. ‘A’ the hills are covered wi’ snaw’, they sing, ‘and winter’s noo come fairly!’ And the children, marveling at the silence and the white landscape, find a spell appropriate to the season in the words.”

From the publisher: In this book, Stevenson draws on his skills as a master storyteller, his memories of growing up in Edinburgh and his interest in social history, legend and myth. A trusty, witty and irreverent tour guide, he leads the reader on an unforgettable journey through the city, bringing to life its most engaging characters and landmarks.
