About the Book

Stevenson's classic adventure follows young David Balfour after he is kidnapped and drawn into the political conflicts of eighteenth-century Scotland. Along the way, he learns that what is legal is not always just, and that true justice requires more than blind obedience to authority.

Banned or Censored?

Kidnapped has not been widely banned or censored, though its sympathetic portrayal of Scottish rebels occasionally sparked controversy.

Why Collectors Value It
