Kidnapped is a classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, set in the 18th century during the Jacobite uprising in Scotland. The story follows the adventures of young David Balfour, who is forced to go to sea and is then caught up in high drama, daring adventure, and political intrigue.


Part of the Macmillan Collectors Library, a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers, Kidnapped is a beautiful book that makes an excellent gift or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by Louise Welsh and features black and white illustrations.


Orphaned at seventeen, David Balfour sets out from the Scottish Lowlands to seek his fortune in Edinburgh. Betrayed by his wealthy Uncle Ebenezer, he is carried away to sea to be sold into slavery in the Carolinas. On board, he secures a timely alliance with Jacobite adventurer Alan Breck, and together they make an epic escape across the western Highlands.


Inspired by real events, Kidnapped is a swashbuckling adventure of bizarre encounters, political assassination, and wild carousings. Robert Louis Stevenson's unique counterpoint of low morals and high comedy is threaded throughout the story, creating a compelling and entertaining narrative.


Through his adventures, David Balfour learns the true meaning of loyalty, courage, and self-discovery, and becomes a hero in his own right. Kidnapped is a timeless classic that has captured the hearts of readers for generations, and remains a must-read for anyone who loves adventure, history, and literature.
