Notes: An engaging modern travel diary, recording a journey in the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson, who famously recorded his experiences in Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes, 1879. The highlights recorded here - the bilberry tarts and cider, the ruined castles, the swallows diving under a bridge's arches - are vividly captured by the bright, playful illustrations.
