The Pavilion on the Links Robert Louis Stevenson

"The Pavilion on the Links" (1880) is a short-story by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was first published in Cornhill Magazine (Vol. 42, Sept-Oct 1880). A revised version was included in The New Arabian Nights (1882). The story was considered by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1890 as "the high-water mark of 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.
