Stevenson, R. L. & Osbourne, L.: The Wrong Box v1 5 Feb 2009
'The Wrong Box' is a black comedy co-written by Robert Louis Stevenson and his step-son Lloyd Osbourne, first published in 1889.
The story is about the last two remaining survivors of a tontine, who also happen to be brothers. One of the most famous English novels ever written about a tontine, it was made into a 1966 film starring Michael Caine.
