humorous travelogue

Stevenson tells romance -and part- Modestine his journey with a donkey.
The first part (crossing of Gevaudan) is excellent: full of humor and freshness, friendly encounters and adventures.
The second part (on land Camisard) is more about a historical perspective, it is less pungent than the first. The preface of Gilles Lapouge is also interesting and far-fetched.
