"Kidnapped" is a historical-adventure novel by the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson, written as a boys’ novel and first published in the magazine "Young Folks" from May to July 1886.

Many characters are real people, and the political situation of that time is shown from different viewpoints. Full title of the book: "Kidnapped: Memoirs of the Adventures of David Balfour in the Year 1751: how he was kidnapped and abandoned; his sufferings on an uninhabited island; his journey through the wild Highlands; his meeting with Alan Breck Stewart and other notorious Jacobites; with everything he underwent at the hands of his uncle Ebenezer Balfour of Shaws: written by himself and now set down by Robert Louis Stevenson."
