Initially, stores would not stock it until a review appeared in The Times, on 25 January 1886, giving it a favourable reception . Within the next six months, close to forty thousand copies were sold . As Stevenson's biographer, Graham Balfour, wrote in 1901, the book's success was probably due rather to the "moral instincts of the public" than to any conscious perception of the merits of its art . It was read by those who never read fiction and quoted in pulpit sermons and in religious papers . By 1901, it was estimated to have sold over 250,000 copies in the United States . </P> <P> There have been numerous adaptations of the novella including over 120 stage and film versions alone . </P>
