Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. His relationship with his parents was poor, and his health was also not good. The Scottish climate was not suitable for his physical condition. During his illnesses, he read a lot of literary works, and frequent travels also inspired his desire to create. His most popular novel, Treasure Island, was written in Switzerland in 1884, while Kidnapped and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were completed in Bern in 1888. He died suddenly in 1894.
