Reader's note

This 1955 Johnathan Cape edition of Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome will look lovely on the bookshelf. This book is about sailing, fishing, swimming, camping, and piratical exploits on an uncharted lake. It makes the sweet freshness of the early mornings on Wild Cat Island, the long sunshiney days of adventures, and the satisfactory evenings of plotting round the campfire seem so real that, as one critic has said 'you don't realise it is written at all, the adventures seem to occur to oneself'. This fantastic book regularly appears on the lists of best children's books ever written. If you haven't read this one yet, purchase this lovely old book today.
