"Frederick Davidson delivers the text of this nineteenth-century novel with a thoroughly convincing
variety of Scottish brogues and English accents."AudioFile

Catriona, first published in 1893, is the sequel to Kidnapped and continues the adventures of David
Balfour and his friend Alan Breck. Balfour returns to the city in order to defend Breck against false charges in the
Appin murder. In so doing, he becomes a pawn in a game between feuding Scottish clans; he also sets eyes on
a young woman whose involvement in the same matter becomes as central to his actions as his desire to vindicate
his comrade in arms.

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (1850-1894), Scottish author, attended the University of Edinburgh and studied engineering and law before he began writing. In Barbizon he met Fanny Osbourne whom he followed to America and married in 1880. When they returned to Europe, he continued writing, while at the same time he began a long battle with tuberculosis. In 1888, he settled with his family in Samoa, where he remained for the final five years of his life.

Frederick Davidson is a recipient of the Golden Voices Award and numerous Earphones Awards. After performing for years in many BBC radio plays, he came to America in 1976. He has narrated more than eight hundred audiobooks.

Have you always loved reading but sometimes find it hard to find the time? Theres nothing quite like curling up with a good book but many of us cannot do that as much as we would llike. We sacrifice this special time because we have so many other things to do each day. It is a common problem and it is the reason why people on average are not reading as much as they once did. Audio books bring the story to life just as the storytellers of the past did. They allow you to experience the book in a whole new way; in the way the writer felt and heard it in their head. You can feel the emotion when you allow audio books to let the story come to life.
