His response was to embark on a journey through the Cevennes with a donkey, Modestine, and a notebook, which he later transformed into Travels with a Donkey. Just a few months after publication, Stevenson was off again - this time crossing the Atlantic and the breadth of America in the hope of being re-united with Fanny, an experience he recorded in The Amateur Emigrant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth pieces are classics of travel writings, which reveal as much about Stevenson's character as the landscape he travels through.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40948405665945,"sku":"9780141439464","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9780141439464.jpg?v=1630168319","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9780141439464","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
