When I was a kid, my father had given me his copy that he had as a boy and told me I must read it. No way, too much like Treasure Island, or so I thought. A thoroughly enjoyable tale full of adventure and action and more than a little sprinkling of historical fact from the land of the Scots and English. ( )

This book is an adventure story in Britain.

David BALFOUR is the hero of this book. In this book, he was kidnapped, and he try to return his house. This book describes his adventure to return home in detail.

He was kidnapped and the ship he was in wrecked, and he drifted. He arrived an uninhabited island. He escaped from there and went back home by land in the end.

This book is very thrilling. Please read it yourself. ( )

The N.C. Wyeth illustrations in this edition are fabulous! This is such a wonderful coming of age adventure. The characters as well as the life lessons learned by David Balfour are vivid and memorable. Great story telling! ( )

1047 Kidnapped, by Robert Louis Stevenson (read 5 Apr 1970) This is a book for boys, I guess, but not bad reading. It is laid in 1751, and involves David Balfour's adventure in seeking his inheritance, and his implication with Alan Breck Stewart, a Jacobite who probably murdered a Campbell. Really not a substantial or overpowering work, its addition to my list of books read is not of tremendous significance. ( )

The reason I like Kidnapped is because of Alan Breck and his funny tricks. ( )
