Robert Louis Stevenson
9 SeriesRobert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish author renowned for his novels "Treasure Island" and "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Despite being considered a "second class writer" by some critics post-World War I, his literary skill and imaginative power were later reaffirmed by Oxford Inkling Roger Lancelyn Green.
Robert Louis Stevenson co-authored several notable works. In "The Wrong Box," a darkly comedic inheritance scheme unravels. "The Wrecker" follows a treasure hunt leading to unexpected dangers. "The Ebb Tide" explores the moral dilemmas faced by three men on a stolen yacht. "St. Ives," co-authored with Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, details a French prisoner's escape during the Napoleonic Wars. "The Wakey Wakey Machine," credited to Stevenson but written by Alan MacDonald, introduces a whimsical invention causing chaos.
