title: Kidnapped and Catriona (The World's Classics)
author: Robert Louis Stevenson
description: 'All good books kidnap their readers. Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped ... does so with unusual aplomb ... what triumphs here is the marriage of that depth with narrative excitement that can kidnap the reader with only a couple of sentences. Kidnapped is one of the world's most re-readable<br />books.'<br />Robert Crawford, Sunday Times
