Summary: "Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great - Volume 13" by Elbert Hubbard is a collection of biographical sketches that explores the lives of renowned lovers throughout history, likely written in the early 20th century. The volume includes stories about notable couples such as Robert Louis Stevenson and Fanny Osbourne, as well as William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, highlighting both their romantic relationships and their impacts on literature and society. The opening of the volume begins with a focus on Robert Louis Stevenson and his love for Fanny Osbourne, detailing their early lives, their artistic endeavors, and their eventual union. It paints a picture of Stevenson as a whimsical and intriguing character, full of vigor and creativity, but also marked by frailty and dependency on his family. As their relationship develops, we see Stevenson's determination to be with Osbourne despite social obstacles and personal challenges, culminating in his decision to travel to America for her, driven by love and a sense of purpose that had previously eluded him.
