Travels With A Donkey
By Robert Louis Stevenson
Published by The Folio Society: London 1967

" Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes is Robert Louis Stevenson's engaging and quietly subversive travel narrative, first published in 1879, recounting his solitary walking tour through the rugged Cévennes region of southern France with a stubborn donkey named Modestine as his companion. Part memoir, part philosophical meditation, the book blends vivid descriptions of landscape and rural life with Stevenson's reflective observations on solitude, freedom, companionship, and the nature of travel itself. Written with wit, humility, and lyrical clarity, it stands as one of the earliest and most influential examples of modern travel writing, valuing inner experience as much as outward journey.

This Folio Society edition, published in London in 1967, is elegantly produced and illustrated with lively drawings by Edward Ardizzone, whose expressive line work perfectly captures the humour, charm, and quiet drama of Stevenson's encounters on the road. The restrained typography and illustrated binding complement the text's timeless appeal, making this volume both a pleasure to read and to handle. This edition would particularly appeal to collectors of Folio Society books, admirers of Robert Louis Stevenson, and readers drawn to classic travel literature and literary journeys on foot. "
