Description

"I, a lover of the man, personally unknown to me, save through the potency of his pen, journeyed across the world in order to visit his grave, and to get in direct touch with his surroundings". So begins this fascinating account of Stubbs' trip to the South Seas, meeting those who knew Stevenson as well, of course, as visiting his grave. All is enhanced by 20 full page photos. Light toning to rough cut page edges, but in general all is clean and bright throughout. Endpapers toned and split at rear, but binding firm. Former owner's name neatly to fep. Green paper-covered boards with attractive titling and decoration lightly worn to edges and a little bumped. Dulled cream cloth to spine, a little worn with rubbed titling. 8vo. 58pp + plates.
