{"product_id":"travels-with-a-donkey-in-the-cevennes-and-other-travel-writings","title":"Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes: And Other Travel Writings","description":"Temperament and poor health motivated Robert Louis Stevenson to travel widely throughout his short life, and before he was celebrated as the author of \u003ci\u003eTreasure Island, A Child's Garden of Verses, \u003c\/i\u003e and other immortal works, he was known for his travelogues. This collection presents some of his finest writing in that vein, starting with \"An Inland Voyage.\" This 1878 chronicle of a canoe journey through Belgium and France charmingly captures the European villages and townspeople of a bygone era. \u003cbr\u003e Other selections include \"Travels with a Donkey in the C vennes,\" a humorous account of a mountain trek, and \"Forest Notes,\" a meditation on nature based on visits to the Forest of Fontainebleau near Paris and adjacent artists' colonies. These early writings offer captivating insights into Stevenson's bohemian nature and the wanderlust that sent him from his native Scotland to journeys around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11508146\"\u003eRobert Louis Stevenson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486829319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486829316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-TRV\"\u003eTravel\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-TRV009150\"\u003eEurope | Western\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO010000\"\u003eEssays\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNovelist and poet Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) began his career as an essayist and travel writer, starting with the 1878 publication of \u003ci\u003eAn Inland Voyage \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eEdinburgh: Picturesque Notes. \u003c\/i\u003eThe author of captivating tales for readers of all ages, his classics include \u003ci\u003eTreasure Island, Kidnapped, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42704237461741,"sku":"9780486829319","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_c4317ae9-0100-4b8b-9c22-e0e33820ebe5.jpg?v=1649994344","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/travels-with-a-donkey-in-the-cevennes-and-other-travel-writings","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
