A group of children spend their summer holidays on a goldmining adventure.

'Ahoy! Ahoy! Swallows! Ahoy!' Have you ever sailed in a boat or built a camp? Have you caught trout and cooked it yourself? The four Swallows, John, Susan, Titty and Roger return to the lake full of such plans and they can't wait to meet up with Nancy and Peggy, the Amazon Pirates.

The four Walker children never meant to go to sea. They had promised their mother to stay safely in the harbour, and to be home on Friday in time for tea. But there they are in someone else's boat, drifting out to sea in a thick fog. And, then comes the wind and the storm, driving them out even further across the cold North Sea.

Another saga of the Swallows and Amazons. A happy holiday planned by the children is spoiled by the arrival of the Great Aunt.

Tells of the adventures of two sets of children as they holiday in the Lake District.

The narrative delves into a rich dialogue between two young men in a library, framed by a lush green backdrop that reflects their artistic temperaments. Their conversation, reminiscent of Boccaccio and Landor, explores themes of aesthetics and knowledge while enjoying a lavish summer night. The setting is vibrant, with references to nature and art, highlighting their refined tastes. The interplay of smooth and rippling dialogue captures the essence of their intellectual pursuits, making it a unique exploration of art and critique in English literature.

The original text, layout, maps and photographs are reproduced together with an introduction covering Ransome's first attempts at Baltic sailing, the building of Racundra and how he came to write the book.

Nothing except a polar expedition full of mountain rescues, blizzards, igloos, ice saling, illness and heroic work amidst the fozen wastes. For Dick and Dorothea newcomers to the lake, meeting up with the Swallows and Amazons prove to be adventure.
