MONDAY, September 5 at 7:00PM : More from The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson

Tonight Caledonia concludes Stevenson's short story the Pavilion on the Links (1880) and then will present a selection from Treasure Island, one of his best known novels.

Stevenson had a sickly childhood, and lived only to the age of 44.  That was a young death even in the late 19th century.  As an adult he was a lawyer, but his interests were varied as is well reflected in his literature: everything from A Child's Garden of Verses to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

For another brief view of aspects of Stevenson's life and works, visit the North Carolina State University Wiki entry for him.
