David Daiches provided a very interesting biography of Robert Louis Stevenson interweaving his family, travels and the Scottish inspiration for much of his writing. I was not aware of the long-term relationship R.L.S. had with Henry James. I am now motivated to read more books by Robert Louis Stevenson.

That sounds interesting! Can you recommend a book to start with besides Treasure Island?
There are a few but one that ties in directly with a very popular current author is The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Read Ian Rankin and see if you can find an underlying theme common to the two.
