by Robert Louis Stevenson Chosen as top summer holiday read for 2009 by The Times, the classic and much loved 19th century travelogue by the author of Treasure Island is the evergreen story of one man's journey across the wild mountainous heart of France in the company of Modestine, a donkey with a personality as broad as the dramatic landscapes of the Languedoc and beyond. This new edition features a guide for the modern traveller keen to follow in the footsteps (and hoof prints) of the original adventurers. Packed with restaurant reviews and details of hotels, guesthouses and even camp sites. Tips for following the route on foot, by car, even in a wheelchair and especially with a donkey.
