Pre-Owned Stevenson s Treasure (Paperback)

In 1879 Robert Louis Stevenson embarked on one of the most romantic ill-advised but wildly successful quests a literary figure has ever made. Young unknown and in failing health he journeys six-thousand arduous miles to make Fanny Osbourne his wife despite the fact that she is already married (unhappily) has children and is ten years older than he. And yet from their first meeting he knew instantly she was the only woman for him.
