Edition details

A bundle of two Folio Society travel memoir books, including: - Travels With a Donkey in the Cevennes by Robert Louis Stevenson. 32 integrated drawings by Edward Ardizzone. Bound in pale grey-green cloth blocked front & back with a design in black by Ardizzone. Olive or orange endleaves. Green slipcase. Later impressions had grey, cream or brown slipcases. 22.8x14.4cm. 156pp. The wild Cevennes region of France forms the backdrop for the pioneering travelogue Travels with a Donkey , written by a young Robert Louis Stevenson. Ever hopeful of encountering the adventure he yearned for and raising much needed finance at the start of his writing career, Stevenson embarked on the 120-mile, 12-day trek and recorded his experiences in this journal. His only companion for the trip was a predictably stubborn donkey called Modestine. Travels with a Donkey gives the reader a rare glimpse of the character of the author, and the journalistic and often comical style of writing is in refreshing contrast to Stevenson's more famous works. - In Trouble Again: A Journey Between The Orinoco And The Amazon by Redmond O'Hanlon. Foreward by Bill Bryson. 18 plates of photographs by O'Hanlon and drawings by Jane Cope. Bound in image blocked green cloth. 306pp. 24x16cm. O'Hanlon takes us into the bug-ridden rain forest between the Orinoco and the Amazon--infested with jaguars and piranhas, where men would kill over a bottle of ketchup and where the locals may be the most violent people on earth (next to hockey fans).
