About the author

Born in Edinburgh on November 13, 1850, Robert Louis Stevenson grew up in a family of engineers but chose a literary life instead. He became known as a novelist, essayist, poet, and travel writer, and his work combined vivid storytelling with a restless curiosity about people, places, and moral conflict.

He is best remembered for Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Kidnapped, and the poetry collection A Child's Garden of Verses. Even though he struggled with poor health for much of his life, he traveled widely, and those journeys shaped both his nonfiction and his fiction.

In his later years he settled in Samoa, where he continued writing until his death on December 3, 1894. More than a century later, his books remain widely read because they are both exciting on the surface and surprisingly thoughtful underneath.
