The Coral Island: A Tale of the Pacific Ocean (1857) is a novel written by Scottish author R. M. Ballantyne (24 April 1825 – 8 February 1894) . 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.The story is written as a first person narrative from the perspective of 15-year-old Ralph Rover, one of three boys shipwrecked on the coral reef of a large but uninhabited Polynesian island. Ralph tells the story retrospectively, looking back on his boyhood adventure: "I was a boy when I went through the wonderful adventures herein set down. With the memory of my boyish feelings strong upon me, I present my book especially to boys, in the earnest hope that they may derive valuable information, much pleasure, great profit, and unbounded amusement from its pages."

Robert Michael Ballantyne (1825 – 1894) was a fur trader and wilderness traveler of Scottish descent who would later in life become the well-known author of over 100 popular adventure books. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Ballantyne voyaged to British Canada at age 16, working for the Hudson's Bay Company for 5 years. As a fur trader, he traded with the local Indians for furs, traveling westward by dog sled and canoe into the wilds of America. Ballantyne's true life experiences as a fur trader living among the trappers and Indians of the American wilderness form an authentic basis for his books of wilderness adventure. Ballantyne is the "real deal" and his books are "true stuff" having lived the life he writes about in his books. There can be little doubt that Ballantyne's 1863 book "The Wild Man of the West" is based on one of the real life characters Ballantyne dealt with in the wilderness trapping camps and Indian lodges of the American wilderness.
