Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. Inspired by real events, Kidnapped is a swashbuckling adventure of bizarre encounters, political assassination and wild carousings with Robert Louis Stevenson’s unique counterpoint of low morals and high comedy threaded throughout. Headstrong David Balfour, orphaned at seventeen, sets out from the Scottish lowlands to seek his fortune in Edinburgh and finds himself abducted on the orders of his wealthy Uncle Ebenezer. He’s carried away to sea to be sold into slavery in the Carolinas, where he secures a timely alliance with Jacobite adventurer Alan Breck, and together they make an epic escape across the western Highlands. This edition is introduced by Louise Welsh and features black and white illustrations.
