Charming Folio edition of Stevenson's first published work. Written to secure independence from his parents and a future with the woman he loved, Travels with a Donkey is a pioneering work of travel writing. Detailing Stevenson's journey through the curious Cevennes mountain region of France with a truculent donkey as a companion. Interesting not only for its author and setting but also as one of the earliest depictions of outdoor recreational camping. Olive cloth boards with pictorial design. Complete with slip case. Spine is sunned and slipcase has some light shelfwear, otherwise volume is tight and prim. Good/very good.
