American Book Company published what they called Eclectic English Classics between 1896-1911. The series was published as a "pocket book" series designed for easy carrying around in purse or pocket to be read anywhere. Each included an intro to the book with suggestions for study to expand on the title. They were popular at the time, not particularly rare today but a nice addition to any library and transportable in size to pull out and read anywhere.
Robert Louis Stevenson's Inland Voyage and Travels With A Donkey in the Cevennes is a classic travel or outdoor literature book. Travels With A Donkey was his earliest published work. It recalls a journey through the south of France in 1878. It is one of the earliest account of outdoor/hiking as a recreational endeavor. In the company of a stubborn donkey, Stevenson is often mistaken for a peddler and many people he encounter were appalled he would undertake the journey, sleeping outdoors and risking robbers and outlaws.
