Robert Michael Ballantyne was a Scottish author of juvenile fiction and he also was an accomplished artist, and exhibited some of his water-colours at the Royal Scottish Academy.
Ballantyne treats adventure as a school for judgment. Survival depends on attention, cooperation, and craft rather than swagger. Read him today as both story and artifact, a place to enjoy momentum and to discuss risk, empire, and ethics with younger readers who love plans and tools.
