About This Item
UK: Pall Mall Magazine, 1884. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Near Fine. The Body Snatcher by Robert Louis Stevenson First Edition Pall Mall Magazine 1884. London. First publication in the Pall Mall Christmas 'Extra'. Completely original and with no loose or damaged pages. No inscriptions or marks and contents unblemished throughout. Original tipped in advertisements still present. Originally written in June 1881 at Kinnaird Cottage, Pitlochry and intended initially as a series to be published under the title 'The Black Man and Other Tales'. Of the original stories two were published in the Cornwall Magazine but 'The Body Snatcher' was considered too gruesome. Stevenson was asked to contribute to 'The Pall Mall'' and offered 'Markheim', but it was too short for inclusion and Stevenson in turn sent 'The Body Snatcher'. It was reprinted twice in the 'Pall Mall Budget' and 'The Pall Mall Gazette' in 1895 due a modest original print run coupled with demand. First issues in original condition are seldom seen.
