The Great North Road manuscript that Robert Louis Stevenson left unfinished at his death has now been completed by the noted Stevenson scholar and novelist Stuart Campbell.

Acting as a literary sleuth he has located a list of twenty-five intended chapter headings and, after a robust discussion with the abandoned characters, he has concluded the unfinished tale

RL Stevenson hoped that The Great North Road, a rollicking tale of highwaymen, murder, mayhem and doomed love, would emulate the success of Treasure Island.
