21 KIDNAPPED Robert Louis Stevenson (Scotland, 1886)
The adventures of David Balfour in Scotland and among the Highlanders as he tries to regain his rightful inheritance.
Stevenson is one of my favorite writers of all time and I really enjoyed this adventure in Scotland. As usual with Stevenson, it was full of humor and the characters were touching. His characters are always so human! He has a great understanding of our nature.
Yet I have to say it's not his best. Novels like The Ebb-Tide, The Wrong Box and The Master of Ballantrae are much better because they're darker. But of course his best books are unknown to most people. Sad but true :( .
