British edition of issue #45 of Classics Illustrated which contains an adaptation of Stevenson's "The Bottle Imp".
"The Bottle Imp" is a short story by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. At the time that Stevenson wrote the story he had moved to Samoa for his health. Although it was written in English, the was first published in a Samoan translation in 1891, Stevenson said that he intended the story for Polynesian readers. The Bottle Imp was serialized in the New York Herald between February and March 1891 and in the British magazine Black and White between March and April 1891. It was published again in Stevenson's 1893 collection of short stories Island Nights' Entertainment.
The story concerns a Hawaiian who comes into possession of a magical bottle that makes all wishes come true but at a terrible cost.
