A spirited tale of high adventure, Kidnapped has charmed and delighted generations of readers ever since its publication more than a hundred years ago. Seventeen-year-old David Balfour is plunged into danger when his uncle contrives to cheat him out of his inheritance. His harrowing ordeal finds him in the company of renegades and rebels and takes him from tempestuous seas to the Scottish highlands. This handsome, meticulously produced Warbler Classics edition includes all seventeen William Hole illustrations from the 1886 first edition of the book, along with annotations throughout and an extensive biographical timeline.

(Edinburgh, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) British novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist. He entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of sixteen to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lighthouse engineer, a career he would later abandon. His nautical studies allowed him to come into contact with seafaring people and customs, key ingredients in some of his most famous works. His renowned work, Treasure Island, was published under the pseudonym Captain George North in 1881. In 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one of the great classics of literature, was released. He died on the island of Samoa, at his home, Vailima.
