Swallows and Amazons

Description

John, Susan, Titty and Roger sail their boat, Swallow, to a deserted island for a summer camping trip. Exploring and playing sailors is an adventure in itself but the island holds more excitement in store. Two fierce Amazon pirates, Nancy and Peggy, challenge them to war and a summer of battles and alliances ensues. The ultimate children’s classic in its original hardback edition first published in 1930, this edition from 1967. Marcus Sedgwick’s oft-quoted review said, “My childhood simply would not have been the same without this book. It created a whole world to explore, one that lasted long in the imagination after the final page had been read”. This edition is in very good condition with the original dust jacket completely intact.
