Tales and Fantasies
Résumé
Tales and Fantasies by Robert Louis Stevenson is a collection of fictional stories from the late nineteenth century. The opening portion centers on John Varey Nicholson, a young man wrestling with his own shortcomings while living under the weight of his father’s ambitions and rigid expectations. Though described as cheerful, John is also portrayed as not fully competent, and he often acts on impulses rather than responsibility. Dismissed early from his father’s law office on a Saturday, he spends his afternoon instead of depositing four hundred pounds at the bank. His choices draw him into escalating trouble, including the careless pawning of his mother’s watch and involvement with dubious friends.
