Description
Kidnapped, a swashbuckling adventure of bizarre encounters and wild carousings, is a tale of low morals and high comedy. Orphaned at seventeen, David Balfour sets out from the Scottish lowlands to seek his fortune in Edinburgh, only to be abducted on the orders of his wealthy Uncle Ebenezer.
He's carried away to sea to be sold into slavery in the Carolinas, but secures a timely alliance with Jacobite adventurer Alan Breck. Together they make an epic escape across the western Highlands, navigating treacherous landscapes and forging an unlikely friendship.
This beautifully bound edition of Kidnapped features black and white illustrations and is introduced by Louise Welsh. With its unique blend of action, adventure, and humor, this book is a thrilling read for anyone who loves a good story about survival and redemption.
