About this book

In his twenties, Robert Louis Stevenson made two now-famous journeys that became his first published books, and this collection brings that travel writing together. An Inland Voyage recounts a canoe trip down the rivers and canals of France and Belgium, where he and a companion were often mistaken for penniless peddlers. Its companion piece follows him on foot through the mountains of southern France with only a stubborn donkey for company. Written with humor, sharp observation, and an easy conversational voice, these essays show a young writer discovering the style that would soon carry him to fame. Available as a free PDF and EPUB edition.
