Despite a lifetime of poor health, Stevenson was a keen traveller, and his first book <i>An Inland Voyage</i> (1878) recounted a canoe tour of France and Belgium. In 1880, he married an American divorcee, Fanny Osbourne, and there followed Stevenson's most productive period, in which he wrote, amongst other books, <i>Treasure Island</i> (1883), <i>The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde</i>, and <i>Kidnapped</i> (both 1886). In 1888, Stevenson left Britain in search of a more salubrious climate, settling in Samoa, where he died in 1894.
