| 4. | Stevenson, Robert Louis Across the Plains
Chatto & Windus 1915 Hardback Acceptable. 1915 Chatto & Windus Hardback, green boards, in an acceptable reading condition for age. 169g
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894) is best known today for his adventure stories such as "Kidnapped" and "Treasure Island". This son of an engineering family, though frail of health wrote many works including poetry and plays. In many ways his life was more exciting than his fiction. In 1876 he met Mrs. Fanny Osbourne, 11 years his senior, in Paris. In 1879, against his family's wishes, he followed her to San Francisco. Lacking funds he travelled in steerage across the ocean and by emigrant train across the USA. Always frail of health, Stevenson reached San Francisco in poor condition. Nursed back to health, he married her.
