The Bottle Imp
By Robert Louis Stevenson
Keawe is a poor Hawaiian man, but he’s also a wise and good-hearted one. One day, he purchases a strange bottle inhabited by a devil who grants wishes. The problem is that if someone dies while owning the bottle, their soul goes to hell. Worse, the owner must sell it for less money than they paid for it. Even if Kaewe got rid of the bottle after a while, misfortune forces him to find it again. Accompanied by his wife, Kokua, a woman who’s kind and selfless, he embarks on an thrilling adventure that could change his life for better… or for worse. Robert Louis Stevenson is famous for writing Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He was inspired by the bottled genie from One Thousand and One Nights to create his own wish-granting creature. If you’re looking for a tale about love, ambition, and sacrifice that is both captivating and spooky, meet the Bottle Imp!
