The Gothic tale of "The Body Snatcher" concerns a young medical student's dealings with grave robbers who provide corpses to dissect and study—a practice that takes on increasingly sinister dimensions.

About the author

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was born on November 13, 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He did so well in school that at sixteen years old he entered a university. His parents wanted him to study law and in 1875 Robert earned a law degree, but he wanted to be a writer. Even though he was ill all his life, Robert Louis Stevenson became a famous writer. Some other children’s stories written by him are: The Strange Case of Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde, Treasure Island and Prince Otto. Robert Louise Stevenson died on December 3, 1894 at the age of forty-four.
