Catriona is the sequel to Kidnapped and starts at the exact moment when Robert Louis Stevenson’s more famous book ends - with Balfour in Edinburgh, standing cold and remorseful outside the offices of the British Linen Company. From there begins a rollicking series of adventures which sees our eponymous hero successively marooned on a remote island, traveling through Holland and France where he fights for his life with his old comrade Alan Breck, and finding time to fall in love with the spirited and beautiful Catriona, grand-daughter of the infamous “Highland Rogue” Rob Roy.

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850—3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

A literary celebrity during his lifetime, Stevenson now ranks among the 26 most translated authors in the world. His works have been admired by many other writers, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, etc.

Catriona is the sequel to Stevensen's classic, Kidnapped.

"All good books kidnap their readers. Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped ... does so with unusual aplomb ... what triumphs here is the marriage of that depth with narrative excitement that can kidnap the reader with only a couple of sentences. Kidnappedis one of the world's most re-readable books." —Robert Crawford, Sunday Times
