Stevenson was an intensive prose stylists that came from a Scottish family. He was born in Edinburgh on November 13, 1850 (Discovering Authors 1). He was a sickly fragile child and suffered from severe respiratory ailments (1). Stevenson's relationship with parents became increasingly difficult as he reached adolescence.
