R.M.Ballantyne is possibly the greatest writer of children's
adventure stories. He is most famous for his work "The Coral
Island," but wrote more than a hundred stories. Because of a
mistake he made in The Coral Island, in which he gave an incorrect
thickness of coconut shells, he subsequently travelled all over the
world to gain ensure his stories were accurate and carefully
researched. For example, he served for as a London fireman while
researching "Fighting the Flames" and for "Deep Down" he spent time
with the tin miners of Cornwall. In this Collection, ten of his
best known and loved stories are included, complete and unabridged.
They are: Hudson Bay, The Coral Island (illustrated), The Dog
Crusoe and his Master, Away in the Wilderness, Fast in the Ice, The
Lifeboat, Post Haste, My Doggie and I, The Madman and the Pirate
and The Pirate City
One night, soon after we entered the tropics, an awful storm burst
upon our ship. The first squall of wind carried away two of our
masts, and left only the foremast standing. There was no room for
me upon the lifeboat; but being left behind saved my life -- and
the lives of Peterkin and Jack Martin, my two companions. Come,
boys, said Jack Martin in a grave tone as we stood on the
quarterdeck awaiting our fate -- You see it is impossible that the
little boat can reach the shore, crowded with men. He had us take
hold of a loose oar, and guided us to shelter on a deserted coral
isle...and that is the beginning of my harrowing tale.
