The Great North Road manuscript that Robert Louis Stevenson left unfinished at his death has now been completed by the noted Stevenson scholar and novelist Stuart Campbell.
Acting as a literary sleuth he has located a list of twenty-five intended chapter headings and, after a robust discussion with the abandoned characters, he has concluded the unfinished tale
RL Stevenson hoped that The Great North Road, a rollicking tale of highwaymen, murder, mayhem and doomed love, would emulate the success of Treasure Island.
Hear Stuart discuss the work at the Rymour Books Glasgow launch of The Great North Road
