About this listen

 Young orphan and heir David Balfour is victimized by his miserly Uncle Ebenezer, who has him kidnapped and sold into slavery on a ship bound for the Carolinas. But a shipwreck frees David, who then meets David Break, a Scotsman returning from political exile. Together, they witness a murder, and when suspicion falls on them, they undertake a dangerous journey across the Scottish Highlands.

Set in the tumultuous times of the Jacobite rebellion, Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped is a classic adventure story that has enthralled generations.

Was good as far as it went but too short. James Macpherson’s narration is brilliant

Loved it. Looking for another R.LS. story.

Well performed but it’s not so much an abridgement as a massacre with many of the best scenes left out completely.

Too short

A literature classic brought to life by narrator James Macpherson's many character's. Will look for other books narrated by him.

The story is interesting and also anti climatic. It gives the sense of chatting to your uncle in a bar, or a man about to retire. One of those stories told by someone distant, yet not so far from yourself you cant connect to them and their emotions. A good hours fun, not overwhelming, not boring.

Like chatting to an old friend.

This is so harshly abridged, the story barely makes sense. Definitely don’t waste a credit on it.

Ludicrously abridged
