Yazar hakkında

Robert Michael Ballantyne (1825-1894) was a Scottish author of adventure fiction, best known for his western stories and sea tales. Ballantyne went to Canada aged 16 where he traded with the local Native Americans for furs. It required him to learn about them, to travel by canoe and sleigh, and those experiences formed the basis for many of his novels. Upon returning home, Ballantyne gave up business to focus on his literary career, and began the series of adventure stories for the young with which his name is popularly associated. He was also an accomplished artist, and exhibited some of his water-colors at the Royal Scottish Academy.
