About the author

Born in Edinburgh in 1850, Robert Louis Stevenson trained for the law but soon turned to writing instead. Though often in poor health, he became one of the great storytellers of the 19th century, admired for fiction that could be exciting, eerie, and psychologically sharp all at once.

His best-known books include Treasure Island, Kidnapped, A Child’s Garden of Verses, and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. He also wrote essays and travel books, and his clear, energetic style helped make him popular with both young readers and adults.

In his later years he traveled widely and eventually settled in Samoa, where he died in 1894. His work has lasted because it combines unforgettable plots with deeper questions about courage, identity, morality, and the pull of adventure.
