Overview
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON'S ETHICS FOR RASCALS is a pithy introduction to the adventures and playful philosophy of the prince of storytellers who became the prototype for Sir James M. Barrie's PETER PAN. This book throws down the gauntlet. It dares us to turn every trial into an adventure, to do nothing that insults our own souls, and to have a little open-hearted fun along the way.Author Biography: ELAYNE WAREING FITZPATRICK, B. A.
