An Inland Voyage
This is one of the author's famous travel adventures. Because outdoor trips were an unusual leisure pastime in 1878, Stevenson entranced his reading public. He painted an innocent Europe, showing gypsies and puppeteers, quaint military companies spending their time in parades and old sages of villages who never set foot outside of their country surroundings. As always, Stevenson used his great powers of observation to guide the reader's eyes in seeing the things of importance along the way. Tom Thomas, Editor

About the Author

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850 - 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
A literary celebrity during his lifetime, Stevenson now ranks among the 26 most translated authors in the world. His works have been admired by many other writers, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Marcel Schwob, Vladimir Nabokov, J. M. Barrie, and G. K. Chesterton, who said of him that he "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins."
