Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes - Paperback

by Robert Louis Stevenson (Author)

"We are all travellers in what John Bunyan calls the wilderness of this world-all, too,

travellers with a donkey: and the best that we find in our travels is an honest friend. He is a fortunate voyager who finds many."

-Robert Louis Stevenson, Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879)
