Catriona

David Balfour is a young man with a name to clear and a friend to save. In eighteenth-century Scotland, still scarred by rebellion and divided by loyalty, he finds that honour is a dangerous thing. Catriona is Robert Louis Stevenson's sequel to Kidnapped, a novel of pursuit, love, and moral choice set against the wild landscapes of the Highlands and the crowded streets of Edinburgh and Holland.

When David meets Catriona Drummond, the daughter of a Jacobite agent, he is drawn into a world of political intrigue and personal risk. Their growing attachment is tested by her father's schemes, by David's own pride, and by the forces of law and history that seem determined to keep them apart. From the Bass Rock to the courts of Edinburgh, from the heather to the canals of Holland, David must learn what it means to be loyal, to be just, and to love.

Readers who enjoy historical adventure, complex characters, and the vivid prose of a master storyteller will find much to admire here. This edition contains the complete text of Catriona, a new introduction, a character guide, a summary of the story, notes on major themes, a glossary of period and dialect terms, and discussion questions for readers, students, and book clubs.
