Martin Rattler

Martin Rattler is A Boy's Adventures in the Forests of Brazil written by R. M. Ballantyne and first published in 1858. Martin Rattler was a very bad boy. At least his aunt, Mrs. Dorothy Grumbit, said so and certainly she ought to have known, if anybody should, for Martin lived with her, and was, as she herself expressed it, "the bane of her existence; the very torment of her life." No doubt of it whatever, according to Aunt Dorothy Grumbit's showing, Martin Rattler was "a remarkably bad boy."
