Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Scotland in 1850. As a child his health was poor, and he spent a lot of time ill in bed. His nurse filled the long days by narrating stories packed with drama and action. Stevenson always remembered the stories and admitted that they had an impact on his writing style. Stevenson’s illness continued throughout his life, and he travelled widely looking for a place with a climate warm enough to benefit his health. He even moved to Samoa, which is an island in the Pacific Ocean. But Stevenson’s best-known island comes from his imagination when he drew a map of an island to keep his son happy. The stories he wrote to accompany it became one of literature’s most exciting adventure novels: Treasure Island.
