Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes by Robert Louis Stevenson
There are several versions of this book available. It's quite a short book so most publications contain 'Travels with a Donkey' and another title. Chippy bookshop has the Penguin Classics version which pairs 'Travels' with 'The Amateur Emigrant', Stevenson's tale of his sea voyage to America (£8.99 less 10%). An 'eat and sleep' guide to the route is given by Laurence Phillips in the Imprint version.
Since Stevenson's hike in 1878 many travellers have followed in his footsteps, with or without donkey. An emotional journey is recounted by Christopher Rush in 'To Travel Hopefully'.
