About this listen

 In this spirited and romantic saga, a young heir named David Balfour meets his miserly uncle Ebenezer, who has illegally taken control of the Balfour estate. Ebenezer kidnaps David and plots to have him seized and sold into slavery on a ship to the Carolinas. A couple of days into the voyage, a shipwreck throws David together with David Break, a Scotsman returning from political exile in France, and the two of them journey together. They are witnesses to the murder of Colin Campbell, the "Rio Fox" of Glenure, and suspicion falls on them. What follows is a perilous journey across the Highlands. Kidnapped is a classic of high adventure.(P)1989 Blackstone Audiobooks Classics Literature & Fiction Feel-Good Fiction Teen Fiction

Story was well paced, and though the language difficult at times it was easy to follow and exciting. Well read as well.

Simply outstanding! Great story. Insight into the Scottish history and character. Perfect example of Stevenson’s genius as a storyteller and one of the best adventure writers of all times.

Excellent

Kidnapped is a fabulous story full of anticipation and excitement I enjoyed it even more because I know a lot of the locations mentioned and very well narrated by Fredrick Davidson who uses a multitude of different voices to keep the listeners engaged in short well worth listening too 💯📕📖📚✌️❤️

Brilliantly read. Much easier than reading it myself and trying to imagine the accent! Listened to it with my ten year old who exited it too.

The words obviously are the authors but the voice of Davie is quite effeminate. The story is excellent and the the other characters are all voiced well.

Interesting voice given to David Balfour

Excellently read although might have been difficult to understand if I wasn't Scottish. Even more interesting to find out that Alan Breck Stewart was a real person.

I thought this was excellent. Didn't speak a word of Gaelic but hoot hoot I've nae doubt picked up a few reading this. The voices are brilliantly done (though our hero David Balfour can sound a little shrill at times) and the narration is clear and strong, making the quite complicated history easy to follow, though I did have to rewind a few times to get some of the names! My favourite bit was David after a shipwreck stuck on a little outcrop in the stormy sea, it's cold and raining and he has neither shelter nor food and is desperate to get away. I was right there with him!
