Publisher Description

Set amidst the islands of Hawaii, The Bottle Imp tells the tale of Keawe, a young man who comes into possession of a bottle containing a shadowy creature that grants his every wish. Of course, nothing is free, as Keawe soon discovers. He learns that he must get rid of the bottle or suffer a terrible fate. But getting rid of the bottle is not as easy at it would seem.

"I love Stevenson's short stories in which his characters face moral dilemas that place their very souls in peril. This one is my favorite. It's about a man who has made a deal with a devil. Everything is going fine and it looks like he has escaped with is soul intact . . . until he falls in love!"
