Kidnapped 1.0 (Mobile)

Originally written as a boys' adventure novel, Robert Louis Stevenson's "Kidnapped" has received praise from a range of writers, including Henry James and Jorge Luis Borges. Set around events in eighteenth century Scotland, such as the "Appin Murder" that happened in the wake of the Jacobite Rising, it skillfully and sympathetically portrays the political situation of the time. A sequel, titled "Catriona", was published in 1893.
