Travels With A Donkey In The Cevennes


Robert Louis Stevenson


The Folio Society 1975

Binding:  Hardback  |  Condition: Very Good  | 

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. Slipcase has some spotting and staining. Mild toning to spine. But otherwise volume is crisp, clean and prim. Very good overall.
