Being Memoirs of the Adventures of David Balfour in the year 1751

"Written by Himself
And Now Set Forth By
Robert Louis Stephenson"
Front flap:
"Scotland in 1751 is a dangerous place. A rebellion is raging as the highland clans band together to fight the English and put "Bonnie Prince Charlie," the Scottish prince, on the British throne.
"It is into this wold of intrigue and danger that 16-year-old David Balfour steps from his family home to seek his fortune. Soon he is thrust into the center of the political turmoil.
"Kidnapped and sold into slavery aboard a ship by his treacherous uncle, David is befriended by Alan Breck Stewart, a rebel supporter of the Scottish prince."
Alan helps David escape, and they cross the Scottish highlands.
Beloved Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894) died young having already produced some of the greatest works ever written in the English language, including Treasure Island, Kidnapped, The Black Arrow, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and many other novels, short stories, and articles and books on travel.
Newell Conyers "NC" Wyeth (1882 – 1945) was a painter and one of the country's greatest illustrators, remembered for illustrating 25 books for Scribner's, including The Yearling, Treasure Island, and Kidnapped. N. C. was the father of Andrew Wyeth and grandfather of Jamie Wyeth, both famous American artists.
