Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch was known for his very excellent verse and in this vein was given the task of completing one of Robert Louis Stevenson's unfinished novels, St. Ives.

For example, 'The Haunted Yacht' is a ghost story, 'The Burglary Club' is a mystery story, and 'The Capture of the 'Burgomeister Van der Werf'' is a swashbuckling adventure story.
