David Balfour

David Balfour- Robert Louis Stevenson

The sequel to ‘Kidnapped’, written after an interval of six years, marks a notable development of Stevenson’s powers. In ‘Kidnapped’ the Appin murder is a mere glimpse ; in ‘David Balfour’ the story is deeply involved with the trial which followed it and with the personages which figured in this piece of the aftermath of the ’45 in the Highlands. It is historical in a much larger measure and closer relation than the tale of which it is the continuation ; it depends so much less on the element of excitement, and so much more on its drawings of people, that the two scarcely make a homogeneous work.
