It tells the story of David Balfour, a newly-orphaned young boy who is cheated out of his inheritance by his uncle and kidnapped. Amid the conflict between the Jacobites and supporters of King George II, David is falsely accused of murder and must flee for his life. Stevenson's classic adventure story is as compelling now as when it was first published in 1886. This retelling has been shortened and illustrated for younger readers.
