The Private Life of RLS

Robert Louis Stevenson was an invalid from childhood, and his whole life, whether in Scotland, England, France, the United States or Australia, was a search for health. But wherever he went in the world, he wrote. He became a teller of tales that made his name, and his initials, famous throughout the Victorian world, and his verses charmed children of all ages. But wherever he went, this strange, striking, child-like man carried his Edinburgh hosts with him, and this is the private world he presents for your delight and entertainment as he looks back on his life from a Samoan exile.
