Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

I have read Kidnapped (1886) is a historical novel that tells of the boy David Balfour's pursuit of his inheritance and his alliance with Alan Breck in the intrigues ofJacobite troubles in Scotland.

Kidnapped, receives its 11th film adaptation in this two-and-a-half-hour miniseries starring young British TV vet James Anthony Pearson as David Balfour, the  uncle Ebenezer (Adrian Dunbar,Richard III) and the Scottish rogue, Alan Breck (Iain Glen, Mountains of the Moon).

The central character is a young man named David Balfour, whose parents have recently died. He has to go at House of Shaws, there live his uncle. David arrives at the house and he is allowed to stay, and soon discovers evidence that his father may have been older than his uncle, this situation mades that he is the heir. His uncle  know it and he want that David dead or disappear, finally he gets him into a boat and the Captain plans to sell him into servitude.

One day the boat strike a small boat.  All of its crew are killed except one man, Alan Breck who is brought on board and offers Captain a large sum of money to drop him off on the mainland. David later overhears the crew plotting to kill Breck and take all his money. They fight and get control of the boat but it  is soon driven aground on the rocks.

First David begins an adventure alone in the country but one day he met with his friend Alan, they are persecuted and live many experiences together until they return to the house David´s uncle and they get part of the heritage.

PERSONAL OPINION

I like because it is an adventure book, from start to finish has much action, many things happen and always it keeps you intrigued.

This book hasn´t been easy for me because it has many words that

I don´t understand and I have had to look for in the dictionary but I recommend it.
