In this striking new biography, Gavin Griffiths offers an excellent glimpse into Stevenson's life and world. From his early ill health and rejection of the Presbyterian lifestyle, to his burgeoning literary talents and friendship with Henry James, and his subsequent success as a writer and travels to the South Seas, Griffiths brilliantly captures the man and his work to create a thoroughly rewarding and entertaining biography.
