Travels With a Donkey in the Cevennes
In 1878, Robert Louis Stevenson, author of classics such as Kidnapped and Treasure Island, embarked on a walking tour of the CEvennes, a mountainous region in south-central France. Modestine and Stevenson tramped without plan or purpose through scenic villages and fearsome forests--reportedly infested with man-eating wolves--depending on peasants, Trappist monks and passersby for supplies, shelter and directions. His travelling companion was Modestine, a diminutive donkey with a mind of her own who, over the course of the journey, bore some of his provisions and much of his rancour.
