"Mr. Stevenson has never appeared to greater advantage than in 'Kidnapped.'" —The Nation.
"He brings back old chivalries and piracies, and talks to the boyhood of to-day of shipwrecks and highwaymen, as if these venerable objects of worship had not been superseded long ago by mercantile heroes and dollar-coining newsboys." —The Atlantic Monthly.

"These verses are simply exquisite. They are the child's thought in the child's language, and yet altogether, poetical.
