Author Douglas Jackson revisits Kidnapped, by Robert Louis Stevenson, “the story that inspired him to become a writer, evoking the beauty of Scotland through wonderful imagery.”
It says a huge amount about Scotland: its history and landscape. This book sparked my imagination and made me want to become a writer; I loved the fluency of the descriptions and the roundness of the characters. It takes you to places in Scotland you might never go — some of the most remote, wild and beautiful parts of the country. – from “It Moved Me: Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson,” by Douglas Jackson, The Times
