RLS

Have just finished reading a selection of Robert Louis Stevenson's writings on the South Pacific. And very fine they were too. I'm sure I've read The Bottle Imp before, or was it just a story with the same plot? The Beach of Falesa is probably the star of the collection though: a nice account of some somewhat unpleasant colonials and their influence on the islanders, told through a none-too-pleasant principal character.
