Description Wiki

The Coral Island: A Tale of the Pacific Ocean (1857) is a novel written by Scottish author R. M. Ballantyne. One of the first works of juvenile fiction to feature exclusively juvenile heroes, the story relates the adventures of three boys marooned on a South Pacific island, the only survivors of a shipwreck.

A typical Robinsonade   a genre of fiction inspired by Daniel Defoes Robinson Crusoe   and one of the most popular of its type, the book first went on sale in late 1857 and has never been out of print. Among the novels major themes are the civilising effect of Christianity, 19th-century imperialism in the South Pacific, and the importance of hierarchy and leadership. It was the inspiration for William Goldings dystopian novel Lord of the Flies (1954), which inverted the morality of The Coral Island; in Ballantynes story the children encounter evil, but in Lord of the Flies evil is within them.

In the early 20th century, the novel was considered a classic for primary school children in the UK, and in the United States it was a staple of high-school suggested reading lists. Modern critics consider the books worldview to be dated and imperialist, but although less popular today, The Coral Island was adapted into a four-part childrens television drama broadcast by ITV in 2000.
