Stevenson’s shorter travel writing gathered in one book: the second-cabin passage from Glasgow that opens The Amateur Emigrant, walks through Cumberland, Carrick and Galloway, notes from the forest of Fontainebleau, a mountain town in France, and a sequence on winter health cures in Davos. Essays on roads, the ideal house and unpleasant places round it out.
