Kidnapped - Robert Louis Stevenson - Audio Book

Kidnapped - Robert Louis Stevenson : 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.

The adventure is very exciting because it feels like a real world with all the details Stevenson employs. While the language can be difficult in places it fades once you get into the story. Stevenson has written a wonderful book and created a wonderful book for grown up and adults to read.
