Based on Stevenson’s travels with a stubborn donkey named Modestine through south central France, this entertaining narrative is one of the best travelogues of the nineteenth-century. Stevenson offers many keen observations about France, the people, and the dramatic history of the region, as well as thoughtful insights about the religious strife between the Catholics and Protestants.
