“Kidnapped” before the piot was completed. He finally finished 
the story in 1893 in “Catriona”. Besides the mentioned, he had 
written many other novels, short stories, essays and travel books.
Some o f Stevenson’s short stories were collected into ‘'New 
Arabian Nights” (1882) and “More New Arabian N ights” (1885). 
His short stories are rich in imagination and fantasy.
Stevenson’s last years were clouded by tragedy. Al: that time 
his wife suffered a nervous breakdown. This misfortune struck 
him deeply and affected his ability to complete his last books. 
Stevenson’s life began to brighten when his wife recovered par­
tially, but he died suddenly of a stroke ori December 3, 1894. 
Local chiefs buried him on top of Mount Vaea in Samoa.


Stevenson in all that he wrote, in his essays, his letters, and 
his novels, remained an artist. He was in style self-conscious, 
exacting from himself perfection. Stevenson leads the novel back 
towards story-telling and to the romance. Stevenson is so 
consistent an artist that it is difficult at first to realize the 
phenomenon that has produced his success.
