About the author
Robert Louis Stevenson, a luminary of Victorian literature, was born on November 13, 1850, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The son of a lighthouse engineer, he inherited a pursuit of wanderlust and a narrative dexterity, both evident in his prolific writing. Stevenson's fragile health, which plagued him throughout his life, perhaps kindled the ardor with which he approached his craft. His literary oeuvre spans multiple genres, including essays, travel writing, poetry, and fiction. Stevenson's versatility is exemplified in works such as 'Treasure Island' (1883) and 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' (1886), where his deft storytelling, keen psychological insights, and vivid characterizations are displayed. His contribution to children's literature with 'A Child's Garden of Verses' (1885) showcases his lyrical style and binding connection to youthful wonder and innocence. Stevenson also penned an introspective examination of his craft and life in 'Robert Louis Stevenson: Autobiographical Works,' inviting readers to a closer comprehension of the man behind the quill. A trailblazer of the adventure genre and early modernist writing, Stevenson's influence persists in the literary canon. His death on December 3, 1894, in Samoa, ended a life steeped in adventure and creativity, but birthed an enduring legacy within the world of literature.
