Book Description
Excerpt from Travels With a Donkey in the Cevennes: An Inland Voyage This child of my invention was nearly six feet square, exclusive of two triangular flaps to serve as a pillow by night and as the top and bottom of the sack by day. I call it the sack, but it was never a sack by more than courtesy: only a sort of long roll or sausage, green water-proof cart-cloth without and blue sheep's fur within. It was commodious as a valise, warm and dry for a bed. There was luxurious turning room for one; and at a pinch the thing might serve for two. I could bury myself in it up to the neck; for my head I trusted to a fur cap, with a hood to fold down over my ears, and a band to pass under my nose like a respirator; and in case of heavy rain I proposed to make myself a little tent, or tentlet, with my water-proof coat, three stones, and a bent branch.

Book Description
‘An Inland Voyage’ is a fascinating account of a canoe trip made by Stevenson and his good friend Sir Walter Grindlay Simpson from Belgium to France. It is a relaxing account of the their voyage, what they saw and did, their failures as travellers, and no small amount of humour, with Stevenson at one point stranded on a tree as his canoe is swept away. The text has a philosophical offering as well, that the most beautiful adventures in life are not those we seek. It is a story perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing late night read, or those of you looking for the Victorian Bear Grylls. Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), was an author with a formidable legacy. You will be hard pressed to find anyone alive today who has not come across his work in one form or another. The brilliant mind behind ‘Treasure Island’ and the ‘Strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’, has had a profound impact on every aspect of entertainment to this day with his brilliant creations. Despite dealing with ill health all his life he was a prolific traveller, spending his later years in Samoa where he fought vigorously for the rights of the natives, earning their love and respect. R.L Stevenson was a character in his own right, passionate and adventurous, his spirit shines through in his work, from his novels to his travel guides. You simply owe it to yourself to experience his creations, he was a true titan of literature on whose shoulders we all stand.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Inland Voyage and Travels With a Donkey Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, November 13, 1850. On both sides of his family he was descended from capable and cultivated people. His mother was Margaret Balfour, daughter of Lewis Balfour, minister of the parish of Colinton and son of James Balfour, a professor in the University of Edinburgh. His father, Thomas Stevenson, was a member of a family of distinguished lighthouse engineers, and was a man of vigorous personality, fond of books, and a prolific writer on subjects relating to his chosen work. Robert Louis inherited from him force of intellect, persistence, and a spirit of independence, and from his mother that alertness, vivacity, optimism, and joy in life that made him a man of winning personality and a writer of decided charm. His childhood was passed under the shadow of ill health. He suffered from frequent bronchial affections and from acute nervous excitability, and was often ill for months at a time. But the days when he was kept indoors were not unhappy. His mind was active, his imagination furnishing for him a world of fancy which he enjoyed to the full. His poem, "The Land of Counterpane," gives a vivid picture of the invalid boy and shows that this land was to him a country of delight. In the summer he had such respite from sickness as to permit of frequent visits to his Grandfather Balfour's in Colinton, a town near Edinburgh. Here he met his numerous cousins and enjoyed with them games of athletic skill and of imaginative invention. In all their sports he was the leader. He attended several elementary and secondary schools near his home in Edinburgh, but because of frequent fits of illness was unable to pursue his studies except in the most desultory manner. At seventeen he entered the University of Edinburgh to prepare himself to take up the family profession of engineering.
