The Coral Island by R.M. Ballantyne is a classic Victorian adventure tale that follows three boys—Ralph, Jack, and Peterkin—who are shipwrecked on a remote South Pacific island. At first, they revel in the island’s beauty and abundance, using their resourcefulness to build shelters, find food, and enjoy a carefree existence. However, their paradise is soon threatened by encounters with hostile natives and ruthless pirates, forcing the boys to confront danger, violence, and moral choices. Blending excitement with Christian moral lessons, the novel celebrates courage, friendship, and ingenuity while reflecting 19th-century attitudes toward empire and “civilization.”
