Stevenson Robert Louis (w3146)

  • Description: Robert Louis Stevenson, famed author of Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, was also an indefatigable traveler. Frail in health, he turned to travel as both remedy and inspiration. In 1878, he walked through France’s Cévennes region with only a donkey named Modestine, an experience that led to Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes, one of the first works of modern travel literature. He later journeyed to the United States and, from 1888, settled in Samoa, where locals affectionately called him “Tusitala,” the “teller of tales”
