    Lloyd Osbourne

    Lloyd Osbourne (1868-1947) was an American author and the stepson of Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson. Born in San Francisco, he moved to Europe with his mother Fanny in 1875. While living in Paris, Fanny married Stevenson, with whom she traveled to the South Pacific. Encouraged in his literary interests by the legendary writer, Lloyd collaborated with his stepfather on three novels: The Wrong Box (1889); The Wrecker (1892); and The Ebb-Tide (1894).
