Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, best known for his captivating storytelling and rich imagination. Born on November 13, 1850, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Stevenson displayed a love for literature from a young age. His adventurous spirit led him to explore not only the landscapes of his homeland but also distant shores, which inspired some of his most beloved works. From the thrilling escapades in "Treasure Island" to the haunting duality explored in "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde," Stevenson's stories continue to resonate with readers of all ages.
Stevenson's life was as adventurous as his tales; he traveled extensively and lived in various places, including the South Seas, where he found his final home in Samoa.
