Kidnapped is an adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It follows young David Balfour, who is betrayed by his uncle and sold into slavery. After escaping a shipwreck, he journeys across Scotland with Alan Breck Stewart, facing danger and political conflict. The story explores themes of bravery, loyalty, and justice, set against the historical backdrop of the Jacobite struggles in 18th-century Scotland.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson (13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, essayist, poet, and travel writer. He is most known for works such as Treasure Island, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Kidnapped, and A Child’s Garden of Verses. Stevenson was born and raised in Edinburgh, and although suffering from severe bronchitis for much of his life, he continued to write prolifically and travel widely. A celebrity in his lifetime, Stevenson’s critical reputation has fluctuated since his death, though today his works are held in general acclaim. In 2018 he was ranked, just behind Charles Dickens, as the 26th-most-translated author in the world.
