Description
'The Coral Island' by R. M. Ballantyne is a classic adventure novel following three young boys—Ralph Rover, Jack Martin and Peterkin Gay—who are shipwrecked on a remote Pacific island. Their attempts to survive lead them through encounters with the island's wildlife, natural dangers and a group of pirates, as well as the people who inhabit the surrounding islands. First published in 1858, the novel became one of the most popular boys' adventure stories of the Victorian era. Its themes of courage, friendship, survival and exploration, together with its portrayal of the South Pacific, have made it a notable work of nineteenth-century children's literature.
