Autor

Lloyd Osbourne (1868–1947) was an American author known for his association with his stepfather, the esteemed Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson. Born Samuel Lloyd Osbourne in San Francisco, he was the son of Stevenson's future wife, Fanny Van de Grift Osbourne. His early exposure to literature came through Stevenson's mentorship, and together, they would co-author works such as 'The Wrong Box' (1889) and 'The Wrecker' (1892). Osbourne's own merit as a writer took shape in the early 20th century, with pieces that often mirrored the adventure and vivid characterization of Stevenson's style. 'Love, the Fiddler' (1901) stands out as one of Osbourne's notable solo works — a collection of short stories that delves into themes of love, life's ironies, and the quirks of fate. Osbourne's literary contributions, though overshadowed by his stepfather's legacy, remain a testament to the captivating storytelling of the era. His narrative craft reflects the influences of his experiences and travels with Stevenson, yet showcases his unique ability to captivate audiences in his right, through the charm of his prose and his keen observation of human nature.
