Author:Arthur Ransome
‘Let fly jib sheet! Slack away main! Fenders out!’
Dick and Dorothea – also known as The Ds – arrive in Norfolk all ready to learn how to sail. They couldn’t hope for a better teacher than Tom Dudgeon. But Tom is in a spot of trouble. After seeing the beastly Margoletta moored clean across the nests of his beloved coots, Tom set the motorcruiser adrift. Now the enemy have offered a bounty on his head. Can they save the birds’ nest from almost certain destruction? Will they avoid being caught by the awful Hullabaloos? Only some brave friends and quick thinking stands between them and disaster…
I challenge anybody to read this anthology without being inspired to learn more! Highly recommended, this is an anthology to contemplate, revisit and relish
—— LoveReading4KidsThe book is a record of an uncovenanted voyage, which ended in Holland, of the rain and wind, the darkness and the wild water, the escapes from buoys and from ships crossing in the night, the courage and resource of the children.
—— EVENING STANDARDPerhaps the best of all ... Just what does happen is told with all the wealth of practical detail and satisfying sense of reality which make Mr Ransome so unfailingly successful.
—— PUNCHThe most exciting of the whole Swallows and Amazons series.
—— NEW STATESMANThe seventh of the Arthur Ransome books, and I really think it is the best.
