Коралловый остров. Сказка Тихого океана

The story emphasizes character virtues like bravery and honesty. I wonder what message he hoped young readers would take from their choices.

The kids seem to handle everything with such confidence and harmony. Was this a reflection of Victorian ideals or a deliberate storytelling choice?

The book captures a sense of wonder that seems timeless. I'm curious whether Ballantyne wanted to inspire a love for discovery or teach moral lessons.
