Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850 - 3 December 1894)
was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist and travel writer. His
best-known books include Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange
Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. A literary celebrity during his
lifetime, Stevenson now ranks among the 30 most translated authors
in the world, just below Charles Dickens. He has been greatly
admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest
Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Marcel Schwob, Vladimir Nabokov, J. M.
Barrie, and G. K. Chesterton, who said of him that he "seemed to
pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing
spillikins." Contents of Poems Include: Ad Nepotem Ad Olum Ad
Piscatorem Ad Quintilianum Ad Se Ipsum After Reading Antony And
Cleopatra Air Of Diabelli's An English Breeze Apologetic Postscript
