Description

The Swallows and Amazons are sailing with Nancy and Peggy’s Uncle Jim (better known as Captain Flint) when their hired deckhand tells them a tale of his younger days – a tale to set pulses racing and hopes shooting sky high. Soon their boat is on its way to a Caribbean treasure hunt and they find themselves up against shark, storm, earthquake – and the vilest pirate who ever eavesdropped at a porthole.

About The Author

Arthur Ransome was born in Leeds in l884 and went to school at Rugby. He was in Russia in l917, and witnessed the Revolution, which he reported for the Manchester Guardian. After escaping to Scandinavia, he settled in the Lake District with his Russian wife where, in l929, he wrote Swallows and Amazons. And so began a writing career which has produced some of the real children's treasures of all time. In 1936 he won the first ever Carnegie Medal for his book, Pigeon Post.

It is so well written that you don't realise that it is written at all. The best children's story
