Storyteller: The Life of Robert Louis Stevenson
by Leo Damrosch
Storyteller by Leo Damrosch, a literature professor at Harvard, tells the story of Robert Louis Stevenson, the Scottish novelist, from his birth in Edinburgh to his death in Samoa at the age of just 44, after a life plagued by ill health. It also makes the case for Stevenson as a serious writer, not just to be dismissed as a children’s author.
