Moray McLaren has made a lifelong study of Robert Louis Stevenson and few writers are better equipped to pay a tribute to him in his centenary year than this patriotic son of Edinburgh. The author writes best when he is writing about what he loves, and there can be no doubt of his affection for his subjects - the man and the city. The book contains much that will interest and please Stevenson's admirers and contributes a good deal to our knowledge and understanding of the influence on a great Scottish writer of the city of his birth; more than that, Mr McLaren has succeeded in presenting a well-balanced view of an important period in Stevenson's life which other writers may have tended to treat in a cynical or over-sentimental fashion - the period of rebellion against the city which was his first and final love.
