Picking up where Kidnapped ended, young David Balfour, now an heir, goes to Edinburgh to give the evidence that would save James Stewart of the Glens, a Highlander falsely accused of the Appin murder. But powerful men want James hanged, and David is kidnapped again and held on a lonely rock in the sea until the trial is over. Meanwhile he falls in love with Catriona Drummond, the proud, spirited daughter of a treacherous Highland chief, and meets her again later in Holland.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) came from a family of Edinburgh lighthouse engineers and was expected to follow them, but chose writing, despite lungs so weak he was often bedridden. He travelled constantly in search of health, married the American Fanny Osbourne and wrote Treasure Island for her son.
Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and A Child's Garden of Verses followed, and in 1890 he settled in Samoa, where the islanders called him Tusitala, the teller of tales. He died there at forty-four and is buried on a hilltop above his home.
