This biography of Robert Louis Stevenson is written in the firm conviction that Stevenson is a major figure in English literature whose reputation has suffered unjustly in the 100 years since his death. With his deep knowledge of Jacobite history and the literature of travel and discovery, the author of this book investigates Stevenson's work including the writing of "Kidnapped", "Treasure Island" and "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde". Frank McLynn is the author of "Charles Edward Stuart" which was short-listed for the 1989 McVitie's Prize and "The Jacobite Army in England" which won the Cheltenham Prize.
