Wrecked but not Ruined

Cliff Fort is a smallholding off of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in the Canadian outback. Drawing upon his extensive personal experience, Ballantyne paints a vivid picture of life at the fort and in the wilderness. 'Wrecked but not Ruined' was one of Ballantyne's last attempts to appeal to young people, and encourage them to lead good, honest lives, such as the ones led by those at Cliff Fort.

Robert Michael Ballantyne (1825 - 1894) was a Scottish author. Born into a family of famous printers and publishers, his expertise was juvenile fiction, and he wrote over 100 hugely successful books in this genre. The most notable of these include ‘The Coral Island’, ‘The Eagle Cliff’, and ‘The Gorilla Hunters’. Famed for his tendency to fully immerse himself into the environment of whichever story he was working on, his lively prose is unmissable for those who enjoyed Matt Haig’s ‘The Midnight Library’.
