麻豆约拍

At Vailima - his home in Western Samoa - Robert Louis Stevenson attempts to dispel some of the more romantic notions that have built up around him as he looks back over his life and the people who have meant most to him.

These include his American wife Fanny, his stepson Lloyd, and the waspish literary critic WE Henley, now best remembered as the model for Treasure Island's most enduring character - Long John Silver.

Written by John Sessions who stars as Robert Louis Stevenson.
