The Wrong Box is a black comedy novel co-written by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne, first published in 1889. The story is about two brothers who are the last two surviving members of a tontine. The book was the first of three novels that Stevenson co-wrote with Osbourne, who was his stepson. The others were The Wrecker (1892) and The Ebb-Tide (1894). Osbourne wrote the first draft of the novel late in 1887 (then called The Finsbury Tontine), Stevenson revised it in 1888 (then called A Game of Bluff) and again in 1889 when it was finally called The Wrong Box. A film adaptation, also titled The Wrong Box, was released in 1966, and a musical in 2002. Rudyard Kipling, in a letter to his friend Edmonia Hill (dated September 17, 1889), praised the novel: I have got R.L. Stevenson's In the Wrong Box and laughed over it dementedly when I read it. That man has only one lung but he makes you laugh with all your whole inside. The Wrong Box was filmed in 1966 starring Michael Caine. The novel was also adapted as a stage musical in 2002, and a studio cast recording of the show was released in August 2013. (Wikipedia.org)

The Wrong Box (1889) is one of Stevenson's strangest works. Written with his stepson Lloyd Osbourne, it is a masterpiece of black comedy, turning on mistaken identity, the disappearance of a corpse, and several makeshift coffins. The Finsbury family has long been involved in a Tontine - a scheme in which subscribers invest money in a fund which then falls to the last survivor. Now there are only two aged uncles between Morris and John Finsbury and their fortune. A railway accident appears to dispose of one; and then the farce begins... In this eccentric and brilliantly plotted story the authors extended the boundaries of good taste. The Wrong Box perplexed some of its Victorian readers; a century on it is less shocking but the comedy is as deft as ever.

A strange tale of inheritance, mistaken identity and a misplaced corpse, The Wrong Box was written by Robert Louis Stevenson in collaboration with his stepson Lloyd Osbourne. What came out of the merger is a funny, dark little piece which revolves around the Finsbury family and a tontine (a project whereby the participants all invest money and the last survivor inherits the fund).
