Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)

<p class=ql-align-justify><em>Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes </em>brims with Robert Louis Stevenson's 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 Stevenson's 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 Stevenson's dry humor and razor-sharp reflections. Thought by many to be a slender but influential masterpiece of early travel writing it ranks on <em>The Guardian's </em>list of one hundred best nonfiction books of all time. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline.</p><p><br></p>
