TUSITALA - TELLER OF TALESHerbert O'Driscoll Not that many years ago (says he defensively) I was assembling some material for a pilgrimage I had been asked to lead. I had decided that one thing I would do would be to share some beautiful prayers other than those that people knew from church worship. Among them I decided to share a prayer composed by Robert Louis Stevenson.
