This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the life and works of Robert Louis Stevenson or the history of Scottish literature.""In years to come, when his grave is perchance forgotten, a rugged ruin, home of the lizard and the bat, Tusitala - the story-teller - 'the man with a heart of gold' (as I so often heard him designated in the Islands), will live, when it may be his tales have ceased to interest, in the tender remembrance of those whose lives he beautified, and whose hearts he warmed into gratitude.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
