Kidnapped

Kidnapped

by Robert Louis Stevenson

  • LITERATURE
  • 2007
  • PAPER
  • 240 PAGES

Set in 18th-century Scotland after the Jacobite Rebellion, this is a story of attempted murder, shipwreck, and kidnapping as told by a young Whig who has been deceived by his missing uncle. With great feeling for the Scottish landscape, history, and the local atmosphere, this classic tale of the conflict between Lowlanders and Highlanders mirrors the split sympathies of the author himself.  (SCT02, $9.00)
