R. M. Ballantyne (1825–1894) was a Scottish author of juvenile fiction who penned over 100 books. His writing career was prompted by a stint with the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada, which provided rich experiences later reflected in his literary work. Among his most famous books is 'The Coral Island' (1857), which received critical acclaim for its thrilling adventure and detailed descriptions of the South Pacific. Ballantyne's profound narrative style is characterized by his commitment to factual accuracy and moral lessons. His adventurous plots were often interwoven with Victorian values, such as the importance of hard work, perseverance, and virtue. This commitment to detail stemmed from criticism he received about the accuracy in his early works, which then led him to thoroughly research his topics. Ballantyne's influence on the adventure genre is well-noted in literary histories, impacting later writers such as Robert Louis Stevenson, who openly acknowledged 'The Coral Island' in his own celebrated work 'Treasure Island.' 'R. M. Ballantyne: Collected Works' serves as an essential compendium for enthusiasts and scholars alike, offering a comprehensive look at the breadth and depth of Ballantyne's remarkable contribution to children's literature.
