Description

"Mr. Ballantyne is as lively and vivacious as usual. If the incidents strike us as being somewhat startling and sensational in their character, this will hardly be esteemed a fault with boys, who love about all things a story which has plenty of movement and adventure to it. The subject, moreover, turns entirely upon mission work in the South Sea Islands, the pirate Rosco, who was partly the cause of Leppao becoming a madman, being in the end himself subjugated by the power of the gospel." -The Congregationalist, Volume 12, January, 1883 "The fathers, mothers, guardians, uncles and aunts who wish to find an acceptable birthday or Christmas present for a healthy-minded boy of normal tastes cannot possibly go wrong if they buy a book with Mr. Ballantyne's name of the title-page." -Academy "We have here yet another boy's book from the unwearied pen of Mr. Ballantyne. The scene of the story is laid in that ever attractive land of romance, the South Sea Islands, and, in spite of its highly sensational title, there is much about missionary enterprise in the book, as well as the usual topics so dear to boys - mutiny, piracy and shipwreck. 'The Madman and the Pirate' will be a welcome addition to the Christmas holiday library." -The Literary Churchman and Church Fortnightly, January 6, 1883 "Excellent…His narrative has a very romantic look…The tale is of a stirring kind." -The Spectator, December 1, 1883 Get set for high-seas adventure with The Madman and the Pirate, a gripping page-turner that will leave you wanting more. After being abandoned on a seemingly deserted island in the Pacific, the 'Madman' of the title happens upon a former pirate who has also been forced to make his home there. Despite mutual distaste for each other, the odd pair eventually find their way into and out of a number of scrapes and close calls.
