A Couple of Comments From This Week.

A couple of comments from this week.

I had a question concerning Ballantyne's books. I have never read them, yet was wondering this - what time period are his books set in? Would they be in the 1800's, or an earlier time? Thank you! -G.W.

Thank you for your question. Ballantyne wrote books set in many different times. A lot of his books take place in the mid nineteenth century. But there are some books that take place in other times. The Norsemen in the West is one book that tells about Leif Ericsson who first discovered the North America Continent in the tenth century. So, Ballantyne wrote about many different time periods and locations. -Joshua Titus

If you could only suggest one Ballantyne book to read, which one would you pick and why? Thanks, Jeremy

If I could only read one Ballantyne my whole life I dont know which one I would pick. But if the question is what would be my first Ballantyne to read, I would say that it probably would be The Coral Island. This is because I think it has one of the best plots. - Joshua Titus
