Gorilla Hunters eBook

Published three years after the hugely popular ''The Coral Island'', ''The Gorilla Hunters'' is the sequel to the original tale by author R.M. Ballantyne. We are reunited with the young adventurers Ralph, Peterkin, and Jack six years on from their original adventure in the South Seas. The boys decide to visit Africa, to seek out the elusive gorilla. Whilst there, they take part in the now shocking sport of shooting and killing several animals to take home as trophies for museums and schools. The trio also interact with locals - though not always successfully. Very much of its time, ''The Gorilla Hunters'' is nevertheless an exciting adventure novel.
