Publisher's Summary

Heroes Ralph, Jack and Peterkin set sail on the Arrow and are the only three survivors of a fearful shipwreck. They are washed ashore on a seemingly idyllic coral island.

This tranquillity is violently disturbed, first by a tribe of bloodthirsty cannibals and then by the invasion of a vicious pirate and his gang of cut-throats. Will the boys thwart their enemies and live to see England again?

Largely based on Ballantyne’s own experience, as he sailed the seas and roved the countries of the World, ‘The Coral Island’ is a classic adventure story of the Victorian period.

About Assembled Stories: Over the years the national press have reviewed Assembled Stories titles as "excellent", "remarkable", "entrancing", "superb", "magic for sure", "masterly", "wonderful", "a class act" and "a splendid example of audio at its best".

What the critics say

"Peter Joyce is the most remarkable one-man band in audiobook publishing. Joyce, an experienced actor, reads them all himself." ( The Independent)

Absolutely excellent! Highly recommended!

I read this first as an adult and it is an amazing book to escape to. I was excited to find this favourite as an audio book for a completely relaxing escape in the hammock.

The narrator was outstanding. He did an amazing job with the characters and narration and it was easy to follow the characters speaking and the accents were believable and he made this come alive!

Congratulations on a job well done! highly recommend this version.
