Synopsis
Prince Otto (originally published in 1885), was Robert Louis Stevenson’s second full-length narrative. The action is set in the imaginary state of Grüünewald, an unusual choice for Stevenson. This tale of a faraway land in all its glorious obscurity is still enjoyable largely due to the care with which Stevenson constructed it. It is a tour de force of imagination and effort.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish writer, famous for Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
This volume includes a preface by Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson and an essay, Stevenson at Thirty-Four.

About the Author
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in 1850 in Edinburgh, the son of an engineer. He briefly studied engineering, then law, and contributed to university magazines while a student. Despite life-long poor health, he was an enthusiastic traveller, writing about European travels in the late 1870s and marrying in America in 1879. He contributed to various periodicals, writing first essays and later fiction. His first novel was Treasure Island in 1883, intended for his stepson, who collaborated with Stevenson on two later novels. Some of Stevenson's subsequent novels are insubstantial popular romances, but others possess a deepening psychological intensity. He also wrote a handful of plays in collaboration with W.E. Henley. In 1888, he left England for his health, and never returned, eventually settling in Samoa after travelling in the Pacific islands. His time here was one of relatively good health and considerable writing, as well as of deepening concern for the Polynesian islanders under European exploitation, expressed in fictional and factual writing from his final years, some of which was so contrary to contemporary culture that a full text remained unavailable until well after Stevenson's death. R. L. Stevenson died of a brain haemorrhage in 1894.
