During his many travels in search of health, Stevenson gathered not
only a literary fame but also an extended family of hangers-on.
Years of restless wandering in Europe and the US (California,
Saranac Lake, New York, Hawaii) led him finally to tropical Samoa,
where he found not only wellbeing, but a release of the passionate
potential that had been in him from his chilly beginnings in
Edinburgh. What might have been a veritable paradise in his last
years, however, was marred by the eccentric behaviour of his wife,
California-born Fanny Osbourne. As he came into his own, she
retreated into paranoia. Yet such was his loyalty to her that he
allowed himself to be trapped in a situation that grew more
untenable.
