Stevenson was in his late 20s and still dependent on his parents for support. Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879) is one of Robert Louis Stevenson's earliest published works and is considered a pioneering classic of outdoor literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() I love the trend of graphic novels as nonfiction texts, and Kevin McCloskey’s work for young readers and listeners are among some of my favorites.

When two more British frigates were lost to the Americans within the next four months - Java to the Constitution in October, and Macedonian to the United States in December - and some 500 merchantmen taken by year's end, the British reaction was shock and dismay.
