Synopsis "Kidnapped: Large Print Edition"

THE CLASSIC ADVENTURE 1751... Recently orphaned seventeen year-old David Balfour sets out to find his uncle. Instead of a warm, family welcome David finds his life in constant danger as he is thrown into an adventure which could result in a life of slavery in the Carolinas or an early death at the hands of Redcoats in the Highlands. Aided only by Jacobite Alan Breck, David goes in search of justice and to finally take his place in the world... Robert Louis Stevenson's classic is acclaimed as one of the greatest and best-loved adventure stories ever written.

(Edinburgh, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) British novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist. He entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of sixteen to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lighthouse engineer, a career he would later abandon. His nautical studies allowed him to come into contact with seafaring people and customs, key ingredients in some of his most famous works. His renowned work, Treasure Island, was published under the pseudonym Captain George North in 1881. In 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one of the great classics of literature, was released. He died on the island of Samoa, at his home, Vailima.
