It is 1751, Scotland has suffered a time of uncertainty and rebellion, and young David Balfour is alone and penniless in the world.
He doesn't realize a letter from his dead father is about to launch him on the most frightening, exciting and incredible adventure of his life.
As he sets out to find an uncle he didn't know existed, David has no idea that he will narrowly escape being murdered-that a fortune is rightfully his-thet he will be kidnapped and thrown from one escapade to another in the company of the dynamic master-swordsman and fugitive Alan Breck. Together they must make a dramatic and extraordinary journey across Scotland so that David can claim his rightful inheritance.
An epic story of adventure, friendship, murder and revenge!
Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature Trust chose Kidnapped at their "One Book-One Edinburgh" reading project, and commissioned Alan Grant to adapt the original book, and Cam Kennedy to illustrate it-both Scots and world famous exponents of their art.
