    Kidnapped, Part 1 of 3, by Robert Louis StevensonVINTAGE

    Murder? 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.   Welcome to this VINTAGE episode of The Classic Tales Podcast, where an audiobook approach delivers an immersive experience in both familiar and new-to-you classic literature. I'm your host BJ Harrison.  I'm glad you could join us.   With the audiobook library card, you gain access to the entire Classic Tales Library that I've been working on for 19 years. Hundreds of titles, and thousands of hours of classic audiobooks in tons of genres. These are the same titles found on Audible, Spotify, Barnes and Noble, etc..

You're going to love it.   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.   And now, Kidnapped, part 1 of 3, by Robert Louis Stevenson     Follow this link to get The Audiobook Library Card for a special price of $9.99/month   Follow this link and get Multiple Licenses for The Audiobook Library Card   Follow this link and watch the new video walkthrough using PocketBook.     Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:     Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:
