Jenkin and his wife met Stevenson when he was an engineering student and aspiring poet. "It was the beginning of a friendship marked by admiration and affection on their side but something like idolatry on Louis's . Greater even than his intellectual impact on the young Louis was his moral influence: he taught the young man not to strive for effect as a critic and instead to aim for integrity" McLynn pp. 37-8.<br/><br/>Stevenson "found the writing of the memoir difficult doubtless because of the complex emotions involved: work proceeded slowly McLynn p. 249. He completed the manuscript at Bournemouth in June 1887 just after his father's death. They left England in late August and stayed in Saranac Lake from October until April 1888.

NEW ARABIAN NIGHTS
1882. New York: Henry Holt and Company 1882. Undated endpaper ads. Original mustard yellow cloth decorated in black. First American hardbound edition issued as No. 141 in the Leisure Hour Series; George Munro's pirated "Seaside Library" edition with triple-column text in a magazine-sized format was listed in Publisher's Weekly a week earlier -- though actual dates of publication are not known. NEW ARABIAN NIGHTS published in the U. K. as Stevenson's only multi-volume first edition consists of "The Suicide Club" three loosely-connected tales "The Rajah's Diamond" four loosely-connected tales "The Pavilion on the Links" plus three short French tales. Calder has observed that although RLS was very fond of these tales himself they "rest uneasily in a limbo between fantasy and psychological realism." This is a clean attractive copy in fine condition -- quite remarkable for one of these delicate pale-colored volumes of the Leisure Hour Series the same series that contains the first American editions of most of Thomas Hardy's novels. Beinecke 142; Princeton 17A; Queen's Quorum 11 "Conan Doyle considered The Pavilion on the Links 'the very model of dramatic narrative'". unknown books
