The Cruise of the “Janet Nichol” Among the South Sea Islands: A Diary by Stevenson

First published in 1914, ‘The Cruise of the “Janet Nichol” Among the South Sea Islands: A Diary’ is a book published by the wife of the famous English writer Robert Louis Stevenson. “For many reasons “The Cruise of the Janet Nichol” has been pruned rather severely. It was, originally, only intended to be a collection of hints to help my husband’s memory where his own diary had fallen in arrears; consequently, it frequently happened that incidents given in my diary were re-written (to their great betterment), amplified, and used in his.” -Preface
