Description
"We are all travellers in what John Bunyan calls the wilderness of this world-all, too,
travellers with a donkey: and the best that we find in our travels is an honest friend. He is a fortunate voyager who finds many."
-Robert Louis Stevenson, Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879)
Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879) is a classic of travel literature by Robert Louis Stevenson about his 12-day, 120-mile walking tour in the French Cévennes mountain range, accompanied by his donkey, Modestine. This book is one of the first to present hiking and camping as recreational activities, and is as influential as Stevenson's fiction.
