The life of Robert Louis Stevenson is marked by his resilience in the face of chronic health issues, as he became a prolific writer despite his struggles with bronchial problems. Educated in Edinburgh, he gained recognition in London literary circles, where he received support from notable figures like Andrew Lang and W. E. Henley, the latter possibly inspiring the character Long John Silver. Stevenson's works, including classics like Treasure Island and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, showcase his diverse talents as a novelist, poet, and travel writer.
