Description

Hoist sail, shoulder your pack, and set forth upon a world of peril, discovery, and high adventure. The R. M. Ballantyne Library brings the stirring tales of R. M. Ballantyne to life in full.

For those who delight in shipwrecks, exploration, narrow escapes, and the grand adventure stories of the Victorian age, here is an invitation to travel once more into Ballantyne’s remarkable world.
