    Author

    Robert Louis Stevenson

    Poet and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was the author of a number of classic books for young readers, including Treasure Island , Kidnapped, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Mr. Stevenson was often ill as a child and spent much of his youth confined to his nursery, where he first began to compose stories even before he could read, and where he was cared for by his nanny, Alison Cunningham, to whom A Child's Garden of Verses is dedicated.

      The second volume of this publications contains Stevenson's later works. He is now an established and noted writer and his confidence has grown. The best known story in this volume is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, which is now eponymous with pop understanding of split personality, but I doubt if the story, which is a little clunky, is very widely read. The stories are varied and well written, but I still find I have minor quibbles over structure, and puzzle over the lack of a consistent voice. It is almost as if Stevenson has developed his writing skills, but finds that he has little to say. On the other hand, his later "island" works include The Beach at Falesa which powerfully expresses his contempt for the impact of traders and missionaries on traditional life in the islands. Read October 2013.
