“One thing that Ballantyne did, which sets him apart from contemporary children’s authors, was carry out detailed research for his novels […] He worked in a Cornish tin mine (Deep Down: a Tale of the Cornish Mines), went to the bottom of the Thames in a diving suit (Under the Waves), and for Fighting the Flames worked in a London fire station.”
