Smout And The Lighthouse

Description

Discover the unexpected beginnings of author Robert Louis Stevenson in this story about following your dreams. Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's letters and life, this book imagines the author as a child with dreams of becoming a writer. As he and his father visit one of the many lighthouses along the Scottish coast that were built by their family, young Louis begins composing a story in his head―one with storms, shipwrecks, and pirates―that will one day be published as Treasure Island .
