| Summary | "Stevenson's Shrine: The Record of a Pilgrimage" by Laura Stubbs is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. This account details the author's journey to the South Pacific islands, particularly focusing on the life and grave of the renowned author Robert Louis Stevenson, celebrating her reverence for him. It paints a vivid picture of the landscapes and cultures encountered along the way while exploring themes of admiration, nature, and the legacies of literary figures. In this memoir, Stubbs recounts her pilgrimage across the South Seas, beginning with her travels from New Zealand to the islands of Tonga and Samoa. She describes her experiences with rich imagery, such as the stunning coral gardens, native cultures, and the enchanting beauty of the islands. Upon reaching Samoa, she visits Vailima, Stevenson's former home, before ultimately hiking to his grave atop Mount Veea. The narrative reveals not only the physical journey but also a spiritual connection with Stevenson, as she reflects on the impact of his life and work amid the vibrant backdrop of the islands he loved.
