Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes brims with Robert Louis Stevensons wry and exquisite observations and his obvious delight in the farmers and peasants he encounters in the Cévennes, a region of south-central France that was remote and largely inaccessible in 1878. Modestine, Stevensons much-adored but predictably stubborn donkey, sets the pace and becomes a central character in the account of this twelve-day adventure. Beguiling and charming, this pioneering travelogue lends itself beautifully to Stevensons dry humor and razor-sharp reflections. Thought by many to be a slender but influential masterpiece of early travel writing, it ranks on The Guardians list of one hundred best nonfiction books of all time. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline. nn n nn
