28 sec read

Today (Nov. 13) would have been Robert Louis Stevenson’s 160th birthday. And Google has celebrated the fact with a new Google doodle dedicated to the Scottish author.

The doodle is a tribute to Treasure Island, Stevenson’s most iconic book. Hence the pirates, treasure chests, and skull and crossbones. Stevenson also wrote Kidnapped, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and many other short stories, poems, and essays.

This video is a school-produced look at Stevenson’s life and times, and is actually really well done. Don’t go expecting anything professional, but it’s fun and worth watching.

Robert Louis Stevenson died at the tender age of just 44, which is too young for anyone. Still, thanks to his venerable talent and output throughout his short life, we have a full body of work to enjoy.
