About the book

Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped follows young David Balfour, who sets out to claim his inheritance after the death of his parents. Instead, his treacherous uncle Ebenezer arranges for him to be abducted aboard a ship bound for the American colonies, where he is to be sold into servitude. David's adventures bring him into friendship with the charismatic Highlander Alan Breck Stewart, and together they travel through the dangerous Scottish Highlands. Set against the political tensions following the Jacobite rebellions, the novel combines historical detail with shipwreck, escape, pursuit and friendship, making it one of Stevenson's finest adventure stories.
