Robert Louis Stevenson: A Critical Biography (Part One)
by John A. Steuart (1924, 2005) |
|
When Robert Louis Stevenson was 25 years old, in poor health but determined to win his lady-love, he struck off from Scotland for San Francisco. This sprightly book contains his often hilarious first impressions of a very young America. |
Legend in Monterey says that RLS found the coastline of Point Lobos during one of his perambulations around town; he stored it away in his capacious memory for a setting in Treasure Island. True or not, the story — of pirate treasure and adventure on the high seas — is a classic. |
This critical biography discusses the early years of Robert Louis Stevenson including his development as a writer and his time in Monterey. |
