ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
Scottish essayist, author and poet.
Autograph Document Signed: "R. L. Stevenson", 1p, 7x4. No place, no date. To H. J. Morans, Esq. In full: "Please pay bearer £3 gold." Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) signed this note authorizing three pounds gold to be paid to the bearer. Known for his adventurous tales, Stevenson was an avid traveler who had begun writing in his teens. His first successful novel, Treasure Island (1883), was written for his stepson, Lloyd; it was originally entitled The Sea-Cook and appeared in serialized form in Young Folks (1881-1882) - a paper for young boys. He demonstrated his aptitude for poetry when he wrote A Child's Garden of Verses (1885). In 1889, Stevenson and his family moved to Samoa, an island in the South Seas, where the natives nicknamed him Tusitala, the teller of tales. His other famous novels include Kidnapped (1886) and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886). Stevenson's works appeal to readers of all ages, and each new generation continues to find excitement in his writings. Folds, not at signature. 1/8-inch circular ink stain above writing. 3 pinhead-size holes at left blank area. Overall, fine condition. Framed in the Gallery of History style: 20½x22¼.
