This is a book that was written by Robert Louis Stevenson. He is the same person to write "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Hyde".  The book was published four years before the story of Jekyll and Hyde came out. The storyline has a familiarity to the Pirates of The Caribbean plot but is centered around a boy who finds a black mark on a man who stays at his parents' Inn. This story relates to my thematic strand because the storyline has darkness to it like Jekyll and Hyde but has lightness to it as well especially in the end. This is another example of a Victorian era book that discovers more adventure in novels.
