Robert Louis Stevenson Autographed Signed Letter.
One page autographed signed letter from Robert Louis Stevenson to his biographer Louise Imogen Guiney. Matted and framed with a portrait of Stevenson. The letter reads "Dear Miss Guiney I have waited long upon the muse for I thought your song should be answered in kind. But I must wait no longer and the verses refuse to come. Let me then thank you in prose for your book which I have read with pleasure and for your poem which gave me genuine pride. It is a strange thing to hear one's name from across all these waters so beautifully set to song. Robert Louis Stevenson. Skerryvore Bournemouth." The recipient of the letter Louise Imogen Guiney was an Irish-American poet and a cataloger at the Boston Public Library. In 1895 she and Alice Brown published a biography of Robert Louis Stevenson. In 1885 Guiney published a book of poetry titled The White Sail and Other Poems<em> </em>which included a poem The Indian Pipes dedicated to Stevenson. A very warm letter rare and desirable. The entire piece measures 19.5 inches by 27 inches. Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist poet essayist and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island Kidnapped Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and A Child's Garden of Verses. A literary celebrity during his lifetime Stevenson now ranks as the 26th most translated author in the world. His works have been admired by many other writers including Jorge Luis Borges Bertolt Brecht Marcel Proust Arthur Conan Doyle Henry James Ernest Hemingway Rudyard Kipling Jack London Vladimir Nabokov J. M. Barrie and G. K. Chesterton unknown
