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 son. 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.”
The Coral Island. A Tale of the Pacific.
“No boy could be expected to respect another boy who had not read Ballantyne’s bewitching book ‘The Coral Island.’”—Gavin Ogilvy, in The British Weekly.
