From the Publisher
"The Coral Island gave three shipwrecked boys a chance to conduct their own adventures, and influenced many other writers." —A.S. Byatt, Guardian
"Prolific and excellent writer of tales." —Times
Heroes Ralph, Jack and Peterkin... set sail on the Arrow and are the only three survivors of a fearful shipwreck. They are washed ashore on a seemingly idyllic coral island. This tranquillity is violently disturbed, first by a tribe of bloodthirsty cannibals and then by the invasion of a vicious pirate and his gang of cut-throats. Will the boys thwart their enemies and live to see England again?
Largely based on Ballantyne's own experience, as he sailed the seas and roved the countries of the World, The Coral Island is a classic adventure story of the Victorian period.
