Description

Post Haste is a classic adventure novel by R.M. Ballantyne, first published in 1880. The story follows the adventures of a young boy named Roy Royland, who lives in the Scottish Highlands. When his father is falsely accused of a crime, Roy sets out to clear his name and prove his innocence. Along the way, he encounters a variety of obstacles and challenges, including dangerous animals, treacherous terrain, and hostile enemies. With the help of his loyal dog, Watch, and his quick wit and resourcefulness, Roy manages to overcome these obstacles and complete his mission. The book is full of exciting action sequences, vivid descriptions of the Scottish landscape, and memorable characters. It is a timeless tale of courage, determination, and perseverance, and is sure to captivate readers of all ages.So it ever is with mankind. People make mistakes, or are guilty of carelessness, and straightway they lay the blame — not only without but against reason — on broader shoulders than their own. That wonderful and almost perfect British Post-Office delivers quickly, safely, and in good condition above fourteen hundred millions of letters etc. in the year, but some half-dozen letters, addressed to Messrs. Blurt and Co., have gone a-missing, — therefore the Post-Office is to blame!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
