The Pavilion on the Links

Blurb

"The Pavilion on the Links" is a short-story by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was first published in Cornhill Magazine. A revised version was included in The New Arabian Nights.
The story was considered by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1890 as "the high-water mark of [Stevenson’s] genius" and "the first short story in the world’". Along with a number of other stories it was collected in a volume entitled The New Arabian Nights in 1882. This collection is seen as the starting point for the history of the English short story by Barry Menikoff.
