Born at Edinburgh in 1825,[1] he was sent to Rupert’s Land as a trading–clerk in the Hudson Bay Fur Company’s service when he left school, a boy of sixteen. There, to relieve his home– sickness, he first practised his pen in long letters home to his mother. Soon after his return to Scotland in 1848 he published a first book on Hudson’s Bay. Then he passed some years in a Scottish publisher’s office; and in 1855 a chance suggestion from another publisher led to his writing his first book for boys—“Snowflakes and Sunbeams, or The Young Fur Traders.” That story showed he had found his vocation, and he poured forth its successors to the tune in all of some fourscore volumes. “Martin Rattler” appeared in 1858. In his “Personal Reminiscences” Ballantyne wrote: “How many thousands of lads have an intense liking for the idea of a sailor’s life!” and he pointed out there the other side of the romantic picture: the long watches “in dirty unromantic weather,” and the hard work of holystoning the decks, scraping down the masts and cleaning out the coal–hole. But though his books show something of this reverse side too, there is no doubt they have helped to set many boys dreaming of “Wrecks, buccaneers, black flags, and desert lands On which, alone, the second Crusoe stands.” Among these persuasions to the life of adventure “Martin Rattler” is still one of the favourite among all his books. Ballantyne himself was fated to die on foreign soil in 1894, at Rome, where he lies buried in the English Protestant cemetery. The following is a list of Ballantyne’s chief romances, tales of adventure, and descriptive works:— “Hudson’s Bay, or Every–day Life in the Wilds of North America,” etc., 1848; “Snowflakes and Sunbeams, or the Young Fur Traders,” 1856. In 1857 and 1858 appeared, under the pseudonym of “Comus”: “The Butterfly’s Ball and the Grasshopper’s Feast” (in verse by Roscoe), ed. with music, coloured illustrations, and a prose version; “Mister Fox”; “My Mother”; “The Robber Kitten” (by the author of “Three Little Kittens”). “The Coral Island, a Tale of the Pacific Ocean” (with a preface subscribed “Ralph Rover”), 1858 (1857); “Ungava, a Tale of Esquimaux Land,” 1858 (1857); “Martin Rattler, or a Boy’s Adventures in the Forests of Brazil,” 1858; “Ships, the Great Eastern and lesser Craft” (with illustrations), 1859; “Mee–a–ow! or Good Advice to Cats and Kittens,” 1859; “The World of Ice, or Adventures in the Polar Regions,” 1860 (1859); “The Dog Crusoe, a Tale of the Western Prairies,” 1861 (1860); “The Golden Dream, or Adventures in the Far West,” 1861 (1860); “The Gorilla Hunters, a Tale of the Wilds of Africa,” 1861; “The Red Eric, or the Whaler’s Last Cruise,” 1861; “Man on the Ocean, a Book for Boys,” 1863 (1862); “The Wild Man of the West, a Tale of the Rocky Mountains,” 1863 (1862); “Gascoyne, the Sandal–wood Trader, a Tale of the Pacific,” 1864 (1863); “The Lifeboat, a Tale of our Coast Heroes,” 1864; “Freaks on the Fells, or Three Months’ Rustication,” and “Why I did not become a Sailor,” etc., 1865 (1861); “The Lighthouse, being the Story of a Great Fight between Man and the Sea,” etc., 1865; “Shifting Winds, a Tough Yarn,” etc., 1866; “Silver Lake, or Lost in the Snow,” 1867; “A Rescue in the Rocky Mountains,” 1867; “Fighting the Flames, a Tale of the London Fire Brigade,” 1868; “Away in the Wilderness, or Life among the Red Indians and Fur Traders of North America,” 1869; “Erling the Bold, a Tale of the Norse Sea–kings,” with illustrations by the author, 1869; “Deep Down, a Tale of the Cornish Mines,” 1869; “The Floating Light of the Goodwin Sands,” with illustrations by the author, 1870; “The Iron Horse, or Life on the Line, a Tale of the Grand National Trunk Railway,” 1871; “The Norsemen in the West, or America before Columbus,” 1872; “The Pioneers, a Tale of the Western Wilderness, illustrative of the Adventures and Discoveries of Sir A.

MY DEAR YOUNG READERS, In presenting this book to you I have only to repeat what I have said in the prefaces of my former works,—namely, that all the important points and anecdotes are true; only the minor and unimportant ones being mingled with fiction. With this single remark I commit my work to your hands, and wish you a pleasant ramble, in spirit, through the romantic forests of Brazil. Yours affectionately, R.M. BALLANTYNE. [October, 1858.] CHAPTER I The Hero and His Only Relative Martin Rattler was a very bad boy. At least his aunt, Mrs. Dorothy Grumbit, said so; and certainly she ought to have known, if anybody should, for Martin lived with her, and was, as she herself expressed it, “the bane of her existence,—the very torment of her life.” No doubt of it whatever, according to Aunt Dorothy Grumbit’s showing, Martin Rattler was “a remarkably bad boy.” It is a curious fact, however, that, although most of the people in the village of Ashford seemed to agree with Mrs. Grumbit in her opinion of Martin, there were very few of them who did not smile cheerfully on the child when they met him, and say, “Good day, lad!” as heartily as if they thought him the best boy in the place. No one seemed to bear Martin Rattler ill–will, notwithstanding his alleged badness. Men laughed when they said he was a bad boy, as if they did not quite believe their own assertion. The vicar, an old whiteheaded man, with a kind, hearty countenance, said that the child was full of mischief, full of mischief; but he would improve as he grew older, he was quite certain of that. And the vicar was a good judge, for he had five boys of his own, besides three other boys, the sons of a distant relative, who boarded with him; and he had lived forty years in a parish overflowing with boys, and he was particularly fond of boys in general. Not so the doctor, a pursy little man with a terrific frown, who hated boys, especially little ones, with a very powerful hatred. The doctor said that Martin was a scamp.

  • A Critical Re-Analysis of the Business Philosophies, Production Values and Studio Practices of Animator-Producer Paul Houlton Terry
    “DISNEY IS THE TIFFANY’S AND I AM THE WOOLWORTH’S OF THE BUSINESS”: A CRITICAL RE-ANALYSIS OF THE BUSINESS PHILOSOPHIES, PRODUCTION VALUES AND STUDIO PRACTICES OF ANIMATOR-PRODUCER PAUL HOULTON TERRY A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Wynn Gerald Hamonic School of Arts, Brunel University June 2011 Abstract of the Dissertation ―Disney is the Tiffany‘s and I am the Woolworth‘s of the Business‖: A Critical Re-Analysis of the Business Philosophies, Production Values and Studio Practices of Animator-Producer Paul Houlton Terry by Wynn Gerald Hamonic Doctor of Philosophy Brunel University, 2011 Animator-producer Paul Houlton Terry has been portrayed as having little passion for the animation he produced and being more concerned with making a profit than producing entertaining cartoons with high production values. The purpose of the dissertation is to re- evaluate Terry‘s legacy to animated cartooning by analyzing his business philosophies, production values, and studio practices. Application of four psychodynamic factors to the early life and career of Terry, 1887-1929, found that his economic decision making was characterized by: an external locus of control, risk- averse financial behaviour, extreme saving behaviour through precaution, and shrewd money management practices. Based on Terry‘s historical responses to twelve major economic, technological, or institutional forces of change for the period 1929-1955, the psychodynamic factors were found to provide accurate explanations for his studio practices and production decisions. There was no evidence to support the conclusion that three early career disappointments undermined Terry‘s intrinsic motivation to create animated cartoons.
