The Coral Island – R.M. Ballantyne -1936

Description

Illustrated by Graham Munro

A specific printing of the book was released in 1936 by Thomas Nelson & Sons. This edition was part of their “Nelson Classic” series. 

This is a beautiful book but unfortunately not in good condition. Still worth reading and just to own such a old treasure. See images for more info.

Fifteen-year-old Ralph, mischievous young Peterkin and clever, brave Jack are shipwrecked on a coral reef with only a telescope and a broken pocketknife between them. At first the island seems a paradise, with its plentiful foods and wealth of natural wonders. But then a party of cannibals arrives, and after that a pirate ship…what is to become of them?
