His parents wanted him to study law and in 1875 Robert earned a law degree, but he wanted to be a writer. Even though he was ill all his life, Robert Louis Stevenson became a famous writer. Some other children’s stories written by him are: The Strange Case of Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde, Treasure Island and Prince Otto. Robert Louise Stevenson died on December 3, 1894 at the age of forty-four.
