Despite a long-lasting friendship by letter, JM Barrie & Robert Louis Stevenson never met, & Barrie never got to go to Samoa:
“Vailima was the one spot on earth I had any great craving to visit… I shall never go up the Road of Loving Hearts now, on ‘a wonderful clear night of stars,’ to meet the man coming toward me on a horse.”
