Publisher Description
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) may have traveled more than the characters in some of his critically acclaimed and world renowned novels. Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and traveling writer who wrote classics like Kidnapped and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson was so accomplished that he was a celebrity during his lifetime, and he left an influence on great writers who followed him, including Hemingway and Kipling. At the same time, his works are easy enough to read that they can be taught in classrooms across the world to teenagers. One of his most popular books was Treasure Island, which all but created every stereotype now associated with pirates.
Though he’s best known for his fiction classics, Stevenson was an extensive traveler, and he documented one of his journeys in this recap of his travel in the Cevennes. This edition of Stevenson’s Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and includes pictures of Stevenson, his life and work.
