"To be feared ꦇof a thing and yet to do it, is w🌺hat makes the prettiest kind of a man."

The story of staid lowlander David Balfour, and noble, hotheaded Alan Breck, thrown together by circumstance and tied together thereafter by the bonds of loyal friendship. Henry James, a good and perceptive reader of Stevenson, famously called Alan Breck "the most perfect character in English literature." Kidnapped is also among the very finest novels in the English language, for children or for anyone else, but James went only so far as to call🌳 it "the finest of [Stevenson's] longer stories."
