About this book

Four essays by Robert Louis Stevenson make up this small volume: the title piece, "El Dorado", "The English Admirals" and "Child's Play". The opening essay speaks up for idleness, arguing that it means a great deal of activity the ruling class does not count as work, and that the young are better for a good share of idleness. The edition came out in Portland, Maine, with a first printing in 1905 and later ones in 1908 and 1916.
