About

Author Robert Louis Stevenson takes a trip to Napa Valley, California, in 1880 and gets involved in the exploits of a stagecoach driver who captures a hooded highwayman called The Monk. Supposedly inspired by a true incident, this offbeat Western based on Stevenson's The Silverado Squatters is a dandy, high-spirited adventure yarn.

The sun-drenched landscapes of 1880s California provide a vibrant backdrop for this spirited romp involving stagecoach chases and a mysterious hooded outlaw. It feels like a lively literary adventure brought to life through dusty trails and sudden bursts of action.
