In 1881, Robert returned to Scotland after mending a rift with his father.
The couple returned to Europe and stayed in Switzerland until the end of 1880. Stevenson marries Fanny in May of that year. There in 1880, he suffered a hemorrhage, A recently divorced Fanny invited Robert to move in with her so she could help take care of him. They became very close friends.Īfter the success of his short story, “Lodging for the Night”, Stevenson made the huge decision to travel to the Monterey, California to see Fanny again. In 1876, in France, he met a married American woman, Fanny Osborne who was in France with her son. After he passed the bar exam in 1875, Stevenson decided to go back to France to vacation. As he grew older, his love of telling stories and writing led to the creation of many essays and short stories. That toy sparked his interest in telling stories. When he was a boy, his aunt and uncle gave Robert a toy theater. It also meant that he often needed to retreat from the damp, cold, Scottish climate, so he spent many years in Southern France. The condition made it difficult for him to hold a steady engineering job. At the time they described it as ‘weak lungs’ from a premature birth.
Robert did go to Edinburgh University to study engineering, but his poor health. His father wanted him to grow up, follow in his footsteps, and become a lighthouse engineer. He was born in November of 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Like the beginning of “Treasure Island”, Stevenson’s life began far from the Caribbean Sea.
