'A book that has stood the test of time ... enchanting and escapist.'
Sunday Express
For anyone who loves sailing and adventure, Arthur Ransome's classic Swallows and Amazons series stands alone. Originally published over a half-century ago, the twelve books are still eagerly read by children and adults alike – by all those captivated by the world of adventure and imagination.
The Walker children – also known as Captain John, Mate Susan, Able-Seaman Titty, and Ship's Boy Roger – set sail on the Swallow and head for Wild Cat Island. There they camp under open skies, swim in clear water and go fishing for their dinner. But their days are disturbed by the Blackett sisters, the fierce Amazon pirates. The Swallows and Amazons decide to battle it out, and so begins a summer of unforgettable discoveries and incredible adventures.
'Thrilling not only to young readers fond of the sea, but also to older readers who remember how they enjoyed sea stories when they themselves were young.'
The Scotsman
'You'll want to give this to your children as a window on a time when adventures came from swimming, fishing, camping and exploring rather than in an Xbox.'
The Independent
'All the thrills of Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe.'
The Daily Telegraph
'Absolutely fantastic.'
