from 1888 to 1890 the ailing famous author Robert Louis Stevenson wandered the south Pacific with his long-suffering family in a variety of craft - visiting the Marquesas, Tahiti, the Tuamotus, Hawaii and finally Samoa. Stevenson settlled on Samoa and died four years later, much mourned by the locals. This book is that story, told by an expert who conjures adventure and colour from this exotic last episode in a European literary life. B/w photos and drawings. HB. 280pp.
