The Coral Island by R. M. Ballantyne, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. R. M. Ballantyne's 1857 adventure follows three boys, Ralph Rover, Jack and Peterkin, who are shipwrecked on a Pacific island. They explore its coral reefs and forests, live by their wits and face pirates and danger. A Victorian bestseller that inspired Treasure Island and, much later, William Golding's Lord of the Flies.
About this leather-bound edition
Our binders work each cover by hand: genuine leather is fitted over firm boards, the spine is lettered in gold-tone foil and finished with traditional decorative detail. Every copy carries the small natural variations that come with real leather and handcraft.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
