TRAVELS WITH A DONKEY IN THE CEVENNES

Listeners will feel the bright sun and cool breezes and taste the wonders of Gallic food as narrator Billy Hartman recounts master storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson's journey with his beloved pack donkey, the mouse-colored Modestine, through the French countryside. Hartman's rumbling bass and friendly tone add to the trip, which continues to inspire solitary travelers in search of escape, adventure, and friendship. Listeners will want to zip up their sleeping bags and let Hartman's vocal talents guide them along the same path as Stevenson's. R.O. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2015]
