The adventures of David Balfour, a young orphan, as he journeys through the dangerous Scottish Highlands in an attempt to regain his rightful inheritance.
When young David Balfour's father dies, he gives his only son a letter leading the boy to his estranged uncle—little suspecting that this miserly man will steal David's inheritance and arrange for him to be kidnapped, put aboard a ship to the Carolinas, and sold into slavery. But fate intervenes: David finds himself shipwrecked—and, now, penniless. Together with a Jacobite rebel named Alan Breck (a real historical figure), young Balfour travels across the dangerous Scottish Highlands, making his way back home to reclaim his birthright.
This classic tale of high adventure, called by Henry James "Stevenson's best book," is an action-packed "boys' book" in the vein of Stevenson's Treasure Island, as well as a worthy heir to the long tradition of historical romances in the Western canon.
