RLS gave travel writing a good name. He travelled in the past, producing historic adventures such as 'Kidnapped'; he travelled in his imagination, creating 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'; and he travelled in real life, on a donkey in the Cevennes, and across the Pacific to Samoa where he died in 1894. This book is half travel, half biography. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, etc. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket $25.00AUD
