Ballantyne’s research led him to spend 16 days on the Bell Rock lighthouse:
“I did not think that any building made by man could have withstood the terrific sea that has been swirling and roaring round and pounding against us.”

“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.”

It’s Here! — Issue #11
Welcome to our 11th ISSUE of Pure in Heart!
Cover art: At the Fish Ladder by Heather Dickinson, Issue #11.
ENTER ISSUE #11Well, Resurrection Day has come and gone (though it remains in our hearts), spring is in the air, summer is just around the corner, the sun is shining, baby birds are singing — which means … (drumroll) … it’s time for the newest issue of Pure in Heart!
Our little magazine has been growing in the number of readers and writers who want to glorify God, and it shows. In our 11th issue, we have a smorgasbord of creative work by kids, teenagers, students, teachers, parents, and writers and artists of all ages and backgrounds. We have a new, two-part saga of our favorite red-headed heroine (Beatrix), a recipe that will change the way you make scrambled eggs forever, poems that will touch your heart, make you smile, and urge you to be a blessing to others, stories that will make you laugh, maybe make you tear-up, and some that will kindle joyful warmth in your heart … and there’s so much more! There’s even a fun drawing game that will get the whole family laughing around the table (we know from experience).
READ ISSUE #11!
