Classic Books

Classic books by Robert Louis Stevenson, Kidnapped and Treasure Island About the books: Kidnapped Tricked by the uncle who stole his inheritance, young David Balfour is kidnapped and bound for America. Or at least that was the plan, until the ship runs into trouble and David is rescued by Alan Breck Stewart, fugitive Jacobite and, by his own admission, a 'bonny fighter'. Balfour, a canny lowlander, finds an echo of some wilder and more romantic self in the willful and courageous Highland spirit of Alan Breck. A strange and difficult friendship is born, as their adventures begin. Treasure Island From the moment Jim Hawkins first encounters the sinister Blind Pew at the Admiral Benbow Inn until the climactic battle for treasure on a tropic isle, the novel creates scenes and characters that have fired the imaginations of generations of readers. A master of both action and atmosphere, the story centers upon the conflict between good and evil, but in this case a particularly engaging form of evil. It is the villainy of the most ambiguous rogue Long John Silver that sets the tempo of this tale of treachery, greed, and daring. Both books have been gently used and are in good condition. There is no writing on any pages, no ripped pages, and the bound is still holding strong. These chapter books have color pictures and black and white pages as well.
