Ballantyne $220.00 | Hardcover | 2500 pages | Vision Forum OUR PRICE: $179.00 “Boys ought to be inured from childhood to trifling risks and slight dangers of every possible description, such as tumbling into ponds and off of trees, etc., in order to strengthen their nervous system.... They ought to practice leaping off heights into deep water. They ought never to hesitate to cross a stream over a narrow unsafe plank for fear…they ought never decline to climb up a tree, to pull fruit merely because there is a possibility of their falling off and breaking their necks. I firmly believe that boys were intended to encounter all kinds of risks, in order to prepare them to meet and grapple with risks and dangers incident to man’s career with cool, cautious self-possession.... —R.M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) An influential writer of boys’ literature in his generation, Ballantyne was also a devout Scottish Christian. He inspired a generation of writers to take up their pens in defense of the ideals of biblical manhood and Christian character. If your boys have enjoyed the writings of G.A. Henty, they are sure to relish Ballantyne as well. 10 volumes in the set. Normally $22 each Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:
