Martin Rattler is the story of a fourteen year old boy and his friend Barney. Taking a row boat out onto the ocean they soon discover that the waves are too hard for them to row back to shore. As chance may have it a trade ship spots them and rescues them. While dropping the children back of to shore would have delayed sailors they were kept on board to work. Soon the boys discovered that pirates still sail the seas, escaping from the ship they begin their adventure in the jungles where they meet strange creatures. R. M. Ballantyne was a Scottish juvenile fiction writer. Born into a famous family of publishers he left at age 16 to work for the Hudson's Bay Company.

Ballantyne withdrew from business to become a full time writer and over the remaining years of his life he published upwards of a hundred books. With his work writing Ballantyne also was an accomplished artist exhibiting some of his water colours paintings at the Royal Scottish Academy.
