Stevenson Was Right: Timeless Advice from Scotland's Great Wanderer

By Grant McKay

Robert Louis Stevenson spent most of his adult life being told his body wouldn't last. He spent it anyway - canoeing through Belgium, walking the C vennes with a stubborn donkey, honeymooning in an abandoned mining bunkhouse in California, and finally settling on a Pacific island eight thousand miles from the Edinburgh he was born into. He died at forty-four, and he's remembered as the author of Treasure Island and Kidnapped. What's remembered less is that he was also one of the finest essayists of his century - plain-spoken, funny, and stubbornly clear-eyed about what it actually takes to live well.

Stevenson Was Right gathers thirty-seven of his own lines - each paired with a short reading and one practical thought for today. Illustrated throughout by JTW.
