About the authors
1850–1894 · Victorian
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) was born in Edinburgh into a family of lighthouse engineers, trained in law, and turned to writing travel essays and stories. Treasure Island (1883), A Child’s Garden of Verses (1885), Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) and Kidnapped (1886) made him famous. In poor health all his life, he travelled in search of a climate he could bear and settled in 1890 in Samoa, where he died at forty-four.
1840–1914 · Victorian
Fanny Van de Grift Stevenson (1840–1914) was an American writer born in Indianapolis. After her first marriage ended, she met Robert Louis Stevenson in France in 1876 and married him in San Francisco in 1880, following him afterward through Europe, America and finally to Samoa, where they settled in 1890. She collaborated with him on The Dynamiter (1885) and other work, and after his death in 1894 edited and supplied prefatory material for several posthumous collections of his writing.
