Ballantyne, Robert Michael
Post Haste
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Post Haste" by R. M. Ballantyne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of Philip Maylands and his family, who are struggling in a remote part of Ireland, and his sister May, who works as a telegraphist in London. The narrative explores themes of family, ambition, and the working conditions of the postal system during that period. At the start of the tale, we meet the Maylands family, particularly poor widow Mrs. Maylands and her children, including prudent Philip and his sister May, who has moved to London for work. As Philip aspires to join the postal service, he idolizes George Aspel, a friend with aspirations but a penchant for irresponsibility. The opening also introduces the tension surrounding urgent telegrams, and the critical role the postal system plays in connecting their lives. The story hints at adventures and challenges shaped by this communication network amidst the backdrop of family ties and personal ambitions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 77.4 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
