Written with characteristic warmth and intellectual curiosity, the work chronicles Stevenson's personal recollections of his Scottish upbringing, his friendships, his literary influences, and the craft of writing itself — offering an intimate window into the mind of the man behind Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.\n\nStevenson's prose here is at its most confessional and reflective, weaving between personal memoir and sharp literary criticism with an ease that few writers of any era have matched. The collection illustrates his gift for transforming the ordinary details of life and memory into something deeply philosophical, even transcendent. Originally published in 1887, this Greenwood Press reprint preserves the full vitality of Stevenson's voice for a new generation of readers — leaving one to wonder just how much of the author himself is hidden between the lines of his more famous fictions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130999840987,"sku":"2026100007410-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/220af79c-3c5f-4275-b83f-135741af8b27.png?v=1786594184","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007410-secondhand-memories-and-portraits","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
