  Robert Louis Stevenson travelled the world from Silverado to Samoa, where he died aged only 44. Wherever he went his love of his native land stayed with him, and he dreamed of resting from his travels at last in a Scottish churchyard. Stevenson knew Scotland intimately, and he described it all, from rugged offshore lighthouses and bleak Highland moors to his beloved Pentlands and teeming Edinburgh streets. For the first time, the best of these writings are collected in a haunting and unforgettable anthology, which includes previously unpublished material.
