This first volume of the Swanston Edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's works, published in 1911, opens with an introduction by Andrew Lang and gathers three early books of travel and place. An Inland Voyage follows Stevenson and a friend by canoe along the canals and rivers of Belgium and northern France; Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes records his walk through the mountains of southern France with the stubborn Modestine; and Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes describes his native city, from Greyfriars and the New Town to Calton Hill and the Pentland Hills. Together they show the young writer finding his light, observant prose voice. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
