Jim Hawkins and the rogue sea Cook, Long John Silver, that was to be a classic for all boys for generations. Through periods of ambitious activity followed by months of aimless idleness, strenuous days of exciting experience, then weeks of frustrating illness.-- Stevenson always found a zest for life, whether among barristers or millworkers, seasoned diplomats or South Sea cannibals, and he had a special way with children who were important in his life. He was always happiest when writing, and the enormous number of books he produced during his short but eventful life is evidence of this absorbing passion. The events of Stevensonās life are well known, but when a distinguished author like Miss Stern recounts them, they take on a new interpretation and a vivid significance. Here is a delightful profile of a favorite author, a book for all ages and for all who love adventure as Stevenson did.
