Robert Louis Stevenson 
Kidnapped 

Kidnapped – written three years after Stevensons blockbuster hit Treasure Island – tells the story of David Balfour, a young Scot kidnapped by brigands during the Jacobite Rebellion who teams with master swordsman Alan Breck Stewart to cross battle-torn Scotland and claim his rightful inheritance.

Kidnapped was well received and sold well during Stevensons lifetime. There have been about 21 movie and TV versions of the book made, most notably by Disney.
