Description

An Inland Voyage by R L Stevenson Limited Edition

First published in 1878, An Inland Voyage recounts a canoe trip Stevenson and his friend Sir Walter Grindlay Simpson made in 1876. Setting out from Antwerp, Stevenson (in the Arethusa) and Simpson (in the Cigarette) paddled through Belgium and France along canals and the Oise River.

Much of the travelogue relates adventures the two men had along the way. Some of the more notable incidents include the travellers’ inability to use an Etna stove, watching a marionette show, and “being continually wetted with rain” (p. 91). At one point, Stevenson was left clinging to a tree after his canoe was swept away.

It is Stevenson’s earliest book and a pioneering work of outdoor literature.

This is a Limited Edition of 250 of the Illustrated Edition.
