Ep. 1142, Kidnapped, Part 1 of 3, by Robert Louis StevensonVINTAGE
2w ago02:25:15Tap to summarizeMurder? Kidnapping? How low will the miserly Ebenezer Balfour stoop to keep his nephew David from his rightful inheritance? Robert Louis Stevenson, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

Go to audiobooklibrarycard.com and choose the plan that's right for you. As you may know, I like to do a spot of adventure over the summer. This summer, I thought of something a little different. Robert Louis Stevenson, my gateway drug to the classics, wrote a sequel to Kidnapped that is quite good, but not as well known. I've been wanting to do it for some time, but the time didn't seem right. This summer I think we'll give it a go. So that you all can refresh yourselves on David Balfour's story, I'm planning a few more robust vintage episodes during the next few weeks, where we'll hear the entire novel of Kidnapped in three episodes. Now, here's the thing – this is like, one of the first audiobooks I've ever recorded. So while it still gets a fair rating on Audible, you'll hear that I'm still getting my sea legs. Kidnapped has never appeared on The Classic Tales Podcast and has only been available in our retail outlets. And if you've never heard it before, you're in for a real treat. Warts and all.
