【图书简介】 Grade 6 Up-Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson remains one of the classic coming-of-age stories for children and young adults today. After the death of his father， David Balfour sets out to meet his uncle and claim his inheritance. This adventure takes him through the highlands of Scotland where he embarks upon a long journey back from treachery and deceit. The reading by David Rintoul， whose voice is easily recognizable from his roles in several PBS productions such as Pride and Prejudice， translates the written word into an auditory landscape of Scotland. He interprets each character using several voices. As the story progresses， listeners can hear David changing from an uncertain and hesitant youth， to the assured and forthright young man he becomes at the conclusion. Without any special effects， the fight among the crew of the Coventry in the RoundhouseAchairs pushed over， the sounds of the sea hitting against the great shipAbecomes easily visualized. the reader's skill setting the stage and showing the growth of the character is phenomenal. While this is an abridgement， the story flows easily and gives a full picture from beginning to end. This audiobook is a wonderful way to introduce this style of literature to young readers who may feel inhibited by reading the language of Stevenson. Whether read for enjoyment or to enrich the learning experience， this is a must for every serious library collection of the classics.
