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.

Über den Autor
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850, the only son of the engineer Thomas Stevenson. Despite a lifetime of poor health, Stevenson was a keen traveller, and his first book An Inland Voyage (1878) recounted a canoe tour of France and Belgium. In 1880 he married an American, Fanny Osbourne, and there followed Stevenson's most productive period, in which he wrote, amongst other books, Treasure Island (1883), The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Kidnapped (both 1886). In 1888, Stevenson left Britain in search of a warmer climate, settling in Samoa, where he died in 1894.
