Can you guess the title and author of the novel depicted in the picture?
DIFFICULTY : Easy
CLUE : Mr. Stevenson's novel paved the way for more adventures on the high seas with pirates, sword fights, and buried treasure.
I do love when writing creates new words, imagery, and perceptions, which eventually become embedded in cultures as if they always existed. From Shakespeare’s unrivaled skill at fashioning novel words, phrases, idioms, and tropes to Sheridan’s coining of a “malapropism,” when writing takes letters and words and combines them in a manner that is so enlightened, so exact that it couldn’t be expressed better with something already in existence…it’s undoubtedly pure magic.
