Scotland Puzzle

To Robert Louis Stevenson

By Kay Glasgow

The Herald reported on a literary project: The Bibliography of Scottish Literature in Translation and listed the most translated Scottish works (4 Nov 1999: p. 3). Half the list is Robert Louis Stevenson's! He was born 13 November 1850. He studied for the family engineering business and the law. But lucky for readers the world over, RLS and other Scottish authors prevailed in novel pursuits. Here are the top 10 descending in anagrams.
