Description

David Balfour goes for his due and is sold to the Covenant. Hear Stevenson’s Kidnapped unabridged in English: Uncle Ebenezer’s house, Alan Breck in the round-house, the Appin murder, the flight in the heather — a Lowland boy’s education with wet shoes and a stubborn conscience. Jacobite Scotland as a chase you can run across and still not own. Adventure spoken at a walk, then a run. Highlands after the ship, loyalty after the trap, heather as the school.

Author

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) gave adventure its modern bounce and the double life its household name. He was an Edinburgh lawyer's son who would not stay still: tuberculosis, canoes, Pacific islands, and sentences that never limp. Treasure Island taught boys (and everyone else) how a story should turn; Jekyll and Hyde taught adults how a conscience can. The essays are as alive as the yarns.
