About the Author

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) studied law at Edinburgh University but was determined to become a writer. His extensive travels throughout Europe formed the basis of his first two books. Stevenson is most famous for such thrilling novels as Treasure Island (1883), Kidnapped (1886), The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and The Master of Ballantrae (1889). When he died, he left behind the unfinished manuscript for Weir of Hermiston.
