Robert Louis Stevenson reader

Part 2 — STRANGE LANDS

Reading edition

You remember, when Louis played with his toy-ships, he always wanted to sail to the far-away lands.

He loved to read stories of strange lands and strange people.

Many times he said to his nurse, “When I am a man I shall visit the far-away lands that I have read about.”

When Robert Louis Stevenson became a man, he did visit these strange lands.

In a beautiful little ship he sailed for miles and miles over the sea.

He visited many islands,—islands more wonderful than the fairy islands you have read about.

After a while he built a home on one of these wonderful islands.

Here he wrote some of his best books.

The strange people he found living there grew to love Mr. Stevenson very much.

He was their friend.

They always came to him when they were in trouble.

And he always helped them.

Are you not glad Mr. Stevenson was able to do the thing he wanted to do all his life?

THE END

This back cover of the book is the same image as on Page 74. A young boy with wavy brown hair lies on his stomach, reading a book. He wears a pale yellow long-sleeved shirt with a dark blue or black bow at the collar. His legs are bent at the knees and kicked up behind him. He wears white socks and dark shoes with yellow soles. He rests his chin on his right hand, while his left hand is flat on the open book. The book is large and thick, open in front of him. The pages turn, showing faint, colorful hints of illustrations or text. The background is red.
