Stevenson's life was marked by his struggle with bronchial issues, yet he remained a prolific writer and traveler. His literary career flourished in London, where he was supported by notable figures like Andrew Lang and W. E. Henley, the latter possibly inspiring the character Long John Silver. Renowned for classics such as Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Stevenson’s works blend adventure, psychological depth, and poetic sensibility, reflecting his rich experiences and vibrant imagination.
