Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Trail of Stevenson
Of this type an extreme example is Robert Lou1s Steven son. Both by temperament and by the circumstances of his life, he was a wanderer; and wanderers rarely take root in the soil that they so lightly traverse; but nearly every place that Stevenson visited for more than a fortnight made a keen impression on his mind and exerted an abiding and recurrent influence upon his work. After Stevenson had lived in any place, he made it live in literature; after he had enjoyed himself in any place, he made that place a focus of enjoyment for future generations.
