4-6Scribner Storybook Classic series.
Illustrated by
N. C. Wyeth.
Stevenson's tale of sixteen-year-old David Balfour's kidnapping at the hands of his malevolent uncle has been pared down a good two or three hundred pages to fit the confines of this simplified "storybook" edition. Fans of Wyeth's oil paintings will appreciate the fourteen reproductions included in this volume; all others will want to seek out an unabridged edition of this swashbuckling classic.
