(Robert Louis) Crane, Walter 1845 1915 Travels with a donkey in the Cevennes Transcribed by David Price Second proof by Margaret Price "Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a travelogue written during the late 19th century. In this engaging narrative, Stevenson recounts his adventurous journey through the Cevennes mountain range in France, accompanied by a donkey named Modestine. The book not only covers the physical journey but also delves into reflections on friendship, solitude, and the human experience in the face of nature's challenges. The opening portion of the text sets the stage for Stevenson's travels, introducing readers to the charming little town of Le Monastier, where he prepares for his journey. The narrative conveys the warm hospitality of the local people as they assist him in selecting a donkey—Modestine—as his faithful companion. Stevenson humorously details the trials of packing and traveling with Modestine, revealing the eccentricities of both the donkey and the people he encounters. He reflects on the challenges of their pace, their interactions, and the inevitable mishaps that accompany such a venture, providing a whimsical yet poignant glimpse into the life of a solitary traveler in the rugged French highlands.
