The Scottish novelist, essayist, and poet Robert Louis Stevenson is perhaps most famous for his ‘boys’ book’ Treasure Island. Stevenson’s fame grew with the publication of Treasure Island (1883), and in 1884 he and his wife Fanny moved to Bournemouth, where they lived for three years. During this period, he wrote Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Kidnapped (both published 1886).
Worsening health led Stevenson to settle with his family in Samoa in 1890, where he lived in great style, and wrote Catriona (1893), a sequel to Kidnapped. He died from a brain haemorrhage while working on Weir of Hermiston (1896).
