About the Item
Stevenson, Robert Louis. Kidnapped: The Adventures of David Balfour. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1933. Illustrated by N.C. Wyeth. In publisher's original black boards with full color paste-down illustration to front board, pictorial endpapers.
Kidnapped is a historical fiction work by Robert Louis Stevenson, a Scottish author. The book was first published by Cassell
Company Ltd. in London in 1886 and also appeared in Young Folks magazine that same summer. This is a later printing published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1933. The book is presented in its original black hardcover boards with gilt stamped titles on the spine, a full color front paste-down illustration, pictorial endpapers, and color illustrations by N. C. Wyeth throughout.
Kidnapped is based within the historical context of 18th century events, including those that occurred after the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. Although a work of fiction, the book includes real historical figures, such as Alan Breck Stewart as a principle character. The book is narrated by a 17 year old David Balfour, who is kidnapped by his conniving uncle and who befriends an unlikely ally in the quest to regain his freedom and his inheritance. The novel is considered a companion to Stevenson's Treasure Island.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) spent his childhood in Edinburgh, Scotland, but traveled widely in the United States and throughout the South Seas. He was author of many novels, including The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Kidnapped, The Black Arrow, and Treasure Island.
Newell Convers Wyeth (1882–1945) is considered one of America's greatest illustrators. He was the pupil of artist Howard Pyle and created over 3,000 paintings over his lifetime. He also illustrated many books, primarily for publisher Charles Scribner's Sons, which accelerated his career. Wyeth worked primarily as a realist painter.
