Smout & the Lighthouse: A Story of Robert Louis Stevenson by Jane Yolen & John Patrick Pazdziora illustrated by Lyndsay Roberts Rayne*

 The reader follows Robert Louis Stevenson, aka Smout, as he and his father inspect the lighthouses in their care. Stevenson comes from a long line of lighthouse builders. As a "Lighthouse Stevenson", Smout is expected to continue maintaining lighthouses. He, however, prefers listening to stories and creating stories. How can he pursue his dream while not disappointing his family?

A sweet, interesting book with beautiful cut-paper illustrations.

*Highly recommend. A must-read for readers who are about to read his fictional stories.

-Borrowed from the library.
