Description: Hardcover with dust jacket in plastic sleeve. See all photos for details and condition. A fictionalized account of Robert Luis Stevenson's 4 months spent in Monterey, California. It is hoped that in these pages the reader has seen Robert Luis Stevenson as he was during this hitherto little known but important formative period of his life - a young man sick and practically unknown, gambling for high stakes and playing his hand in life with courage. This period in Monterey from early September to December 23, 1879, was to my mind the most important in Stevenson's career, for it was fraught with illness, poverty and struggle against almost impossible odds. It was the turning point in his life. Don Luis lives on in Monterey, the old Pacific capital. Intimate details of his stay are still clear in minds of old-times who knew him. Many of these people have passed away since they gave me pictures and hitherto unpublished material. Those who have gone left many memories of Stevenson to their children.
