Publisher Description
Young orphan and heir David Balfour is victimized by his miserly Uncle Ebenezer, who has him kidnapped and sold into slavery on a ship bound for the Carolinas. But a shipwreck frees David, who then meets David Break, a Scotsman returning from political exile. Together, they witness a murder, and when suspicion falls on them, they undertake a dangerous journey across the Scottish Highlands.
Set in the tumultuous times of the Jacobite rebellion, Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped is a classic adventure story that has enthralled generations.

Heavily abridged
Comparing the preview to an unabridged text, this is extremely abridged, but nothing in the description indicates this. The length is less than a quarter of some unabridged recordings, which strikes me as too extreme even for an abridged adaptation.
