—This Treasury is designed as a complete work of reference on the life and work of Robert Louis Stevenson, but at the same time it is a book to be enjoyed buy the browser would like to make acquaintance of, or come to know better, this remarkable and fascinating man. The Somoans, among whom he ended his life, perhaps summed it up best when they dubbed him ‘Tusitala’ (teller of tales)

-A comprehensive and entertaining volume of Stevensonian scholarship. From A to Z are the people he knew, his friends and family, his enemies and those who wrote about him with flattery or malice. Stevenson’s response to the social questions of his time are recorded and his reactions, pleasant and unpleasant, to the places he visited in Britain, France, Switzerland, the United States, Australia and the South Seas. As well as a bibliography of everything he wrote - novels, short stories, essays, poems and letters, there are prefaces and dedications, historical notes and anecdotes, delightful, often poignant, of how certain books came to be written.
