Louis by Philip Callow
This biography of beloved Scottish writer, Robert Louis Stevenson, provides an illuminating account of a sickly child, son of a Presbyterian lighthouse engineer, who became in turn a Bohemian dandy, a literary gypsy, and at 28 the lover of an American woman ten years his senior. The text chronicles Stevenson's life and achievements right through to his death in 1894.
