Mr. J. M. Barrie says of "The Coral Island":—"For the authorship of that book I would joyously swop all mine. If there is a parent who has not given it to his son (or does not do so within eight days from now), he should at the least be turned out of his club. Many men, no doubt, become parents in order to give 'The Coral Island' to their sons. Jack, Ralph, and Peterkin, I salute you, and hope you are all a fond memory recalls. Not since my schooldays have I met you, but I know what was in the pockets of the three of you the day you landed on that island better than I know the contents of my own to-day, and your wondrous cave is more to me than the Strand."

"Any one who wants boys to believe that there is a better writer of boys' books than Mr. R. M. Ballantyne must shout very loud. 'Ungava' takes us to Esquimau land, and illustrates the phases of the fur-trader's life in the wild regions which surround Hudson Bay."—Sheffield Telegraph.

"The death of Mr. R. M. Ballantyne is the close of a long and busy and distinguished literary career. The news will have been received with regret by the many readers whom Mr. Ballantyne's books have stirred and stimulated and charmed. They were written avowedly for boys, but they have been caught up eagerly by readers of every age, old and young alike, and when once taken in hand have seldom been laid down again until the last page had been reached."—The Times (Obituary Notice, 1894).
