‎St. Ives. Being the Adventures of a French Prisoner in England‎

‎New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons 1897. First Edition preceding the English edition. Laid in is a one page Autograph Letter Signed by the author Robert Louis Stevenson to S.S. McClure publisher of McClure’s Magazine which serialized Stevenson’s novel St. Ives prior to book publication. Written from Valima in Samoa on September 7 1894 just weeks before Stevenson’s death on December 3rd. “.Pursuant to a note from Bunter I have the pleasure to send you an epitome of St. Ives. Without doubt it was a task! And I fear it will not increase the interest of any human being but you must be judge of that and employ it accordingly or not as your better wisdom shall suggest. The Magazine seems to me to go on swimmingly. Please remember me to your wife and the twins. Ever yours R.L. Stevenson.†At the time of his death Stevenson had left St. Ives unfinished and Arthur Quiller-Couch wrote the last few chapters to complete the work using Stevenson’s notes and the outline he had sent to McClure. Near fine bright copy in original cloth with one of Stevenson’s very last letters and a remarkably historic one showing that his efforts did indeed prove of great interest allowing one of his most interesting works to be completed.

‎Ballads‎

‎London: Chatto & Windus 1890. First Edition - English. Historic presentation copy inscribed and signed by the author Robert Louis Stevenson to his stepdaughter Isobel Osbourne Strong.

The book is a remarkable collection of his ballads of the fanciful and weird set in both the South Seas and in Scotland ending with the moving “Christmas At Sea.†This presentation copy carries with it a very significant background for the book was presented at the decisive moment in the relationship of R.L.S. and his stepdaughter. Stevenson had traveled alone to Sydney Australia in February 1891 in large part to persuade Belle to give up her desire to remain in Australia and provide for herself and her son through some employment prospects. Stevenson however counted them as his family and she recalled that he “talked with such kindness such understanding that every last bit of resentment I held toward him melted away and I felt myself to be truly his loving daughter.†Indeed Isobel Strong would live in Stevenson’s island home Vailima in Samoa becoming his amanuensis biographical adjunct and lifelong she passed away in 1953 at age ninety-five keeper of the flame. It is not a stretch that this very copy is the literary commemoration of that relationship changing occasion. Enclosed in a handsome gilt-stamped blue morocco and cloth slipcase.
