Product Description
Book Description
The wild Cévennes region of France forms the backdrop for the pioneering travelogue 'Travels with a Donkey', written by a young Robert Louis Stevenson. Ever hopeful of encountering the adventure he yearned for and raising much needed finance at the start of his writing career, Stevenson embarked on the 120 mile, 12 day trek and recorded his experiences in this journal. His only companion for the trip was a predictably stubborn donkey called Modestine.

His only companion for the trip was a predictably stubborn donkey called Modestine.
'Travels with a Donkey' gives the reader a rare glimpse of the character of the author, and the journalistic and often comical style of writing is in refreshing contrast to Stevenson’s more famous works. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
