Dedication
The dedication was written in January 1892 in a letter to Charles Baxter, Robert Louis Stevenson's friend and adviser, and the book finally published in 1893. The dedication reads:
All three were Robert Louis Stevenson's fellow cabin passengers on the 1890 Janet Nicholl voyage. Harry Henderson was a partner in the firm Henderson and Macfarlane (died 1926, Melbourne); Ben Hird, the supercargo and trader; Jack Buckland a copra trader and original of the Tommy Hadden character in The Wrecker. Jack Buckland’s dedication copy of Island Nights’ Entertainments was inscribed by Stevenson to "John B. Buncombe alias Buckland". A character called ‘young Buncombe’ makes a brief appearance in chapter 2 of "The Beach of Falesá".
