Swallows and Amazons - Paperback

by Arthur Ransome (Author), Helene Carter (Illustrator), Steven Spurrier (Cartographer)

Four siblings, one sailboat, and a summer of pure adventure.

When John, Susan, Titty, and Roger are given permission to camp on Wild Cat Island, they expect a peaceful holiday sailing the Swallow. Instead, they find themselves in a battle for territory with the fierce Amazon pirates, Nancy and Peggy Blackett.

This seminal British adventure story celebrates childhood freedom, boundless imagination, and the unforgettable thrill of outdoor exploration. Perfect for young adventurers and the young at heart.

Featuring Helene Carter's 1931 drawings from the first US edition alongside the author's own illustrations from 1938, this unique volume brings Arthur Ransome's world beautifully to life.
