My sentiments more or less. Just finished, thoroughly enjoyed it. I suppose he lost favor when modernism came in as the major lit movement, but his descriptions are excellent, perhaps the subject matter was well suited to an exciting story.

travels with a donkey is one of my favourite books

stevenson had a fascinating life. look up some of the stuff he got up to in samoa.

>in the heather
Come through the heather, around him gather,
Ye're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin,
For wha'll be King but Charlie?

Are there any other novels set during the Jacobite risings that aren't by Scott, Stevenson or those Outlander ones?

Stevenson is great fun. After Treasure Island and Kidnapped, try The Black Arrow and The Master of Ballantrae.

I just find it fascinating he moved to Samoa, I mean, of all the places for a literary Englishman - even New Zealand would have been less surprising.

Surprisingly underrated on /lit/

I thought Jekyll & Hyde was hilarious, even though it's supposed to be an upsetting/unnerving read.

Is it worth reading Catriona if I have vague fond memories of Kidnapped?
