EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, acclaimed British writer and journalist Hunter Davies can be seen leading a donkey along a picturesque country road in rural France. The serene landscape, dotted with quaint stone houses and lush greenery, transports us back in time, evoking the spirit of a simpler era. Davies, with a determined look in his eyes and a gentle hand on the donkey's reins, embodies the intrepid explorer as he retraces the footsteps of a literary legend - Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson's classic travelogue, "Travels With A Donkey in the Cévennes," chronicles his own journey through the French countryside with his faithful companion, Modestine. First published in 1879, this seminal work has captivated generations of readers with its vivid descriptions of the natural beauty and challenges of the Cévennes region. Davies, a renowned author in his own right, sought to reconnect with the source of Stevenson's inspiration and experience the adventure for himself. As Davies and his donkey make their way along the winding roads, they are surrounded by the rolling hills, dense forests, and idyllic villages that have inspired countless artists, writers, and travelers throughout history. The photographer, Philip Dunn, captures the essence of this timeless journey, inviting us to join Davies on his quest to understand the enduring appeal of Stevenson's masterpiece. This image, with its rich narrative and evocative setting, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of literature, travel, and the human spirit. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of the great outdoors.
