Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894) was a Scottish novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer. He is best known for works such as Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Kidnapped and A Child's Garden of Verses
Kidnapped is a historical fiction adventure novel written as a boys' novel and first published in the magazine Young Folks from May to July 1886. Kidnapped is set around real 18th-century Scottish events, notably the "Appin Murder", which occurred in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745.
The cover is a bit bumped and one of the illustration pages has come loose from the spine but the book is generally in good condition otherwise.
