St. Ives

St. Ives was dictated by Stevenson at intervals between January 1893 and October 1894. About six weeks before his death, he set the story aside to work on The Weir of Hermiston, and never completed the tale, however the thirty chapters which he had written brought the tale within sight of its conclusion.
