THE CLASSIC ADVENTURE 1751... Recently orphaned seventeen year-old David Balfour sets out to find his uncle. Instead of a warm, family welcome David finds his life in constant danger as he is thrown into an adventure which could result in a life of slavery in the Carolinas or an early death at the hands of Redcoats in the Highlands. Aided only by Jacobite Alan Breck, David goes in search of justice and to finally take his place in the world... Robert Louis Stevenson's classic is acclaimed as one of the greatest and best-loved adventure stories ever written.
