Synopses

An Inland Voyage

Written before Stevenson became celebrated for Treasure Island and A Child's Garden of Verses, this 1878 travelogue follows a canoe journey through Belgium and France. It captures European villages and townspeople with an eye for the character of a bygone era.

Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes

A mountain trek is recounted with humour, shaped by the author’s distinctive voice and appetite for the road. The result is travel writing that balances observation with wit.

Forest Notes

Based on visits to the Forest of Fontainebleau near Paris and neighbouring artists’ colonies, these pieces offer a reflective meditation on nature and place. Together with the other selections, they present Stevenson at his most engaging as a traveller and observer, suited to readers who enjoy classic travel writing.
