Young orphan and heir David Balfour is victimized by his miserly Uncle Ebenezer, who has him kidnapped and sold into slavery on a ship bound for the Carolinas. But a shipwreck frees David, who then meets David Break, a Scotsman returning from political exile. Together, they witness a murder, and when suspicion falls on them, they undertake a dangerous journey across the Scottish Highlands.

Set in the tumultuous times of the Jacobite rebellion, Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped is a classic adventure story that has enthralled generations.

A bit of a savage abridgement of this classic tale of derring-do in the Highlands and Islands read many years ago, but served me well enough to seek out the complete version, this time in audio, and also the sequel Katriona, which I had not read previously.

Whetted my appetite for a re-visit!
