| Publisher Description: In THE SECRET OF THE ISLAND, a party of British adventurers, who had been ballooning, but whose trip had ended by being cast away on a Pacific island, have various setbacks due to both pirates and convicts who had escaped from jails in mainland Australasia. They realise that at times there appears to be some kind of entity that is looking after them... THE SECRET OF THE ISLAND was another of the series of Voyages Extraordinaires which ran through a famous Paris magazine for younger readers, the Magasin Illustr . It formed the third and completing part of the Mysterious Island set of tales of adventure. We may count it, taken separately, as next to Robinson Crusoe and possibly Treasure Island, the best read and the best appreciated book in all that large group of island-tales and sea-stories to which it belongs. |
