What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
A later impression of this beloved children's adventure novel.
Illustrated throughout with charming full page and in-text drawings by the author.
With the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.
The seventh instalment of the 'Swallows and Amazons' series of children's adventure novels by English author Arthur Ransome. Set in the interwar period, the books revolve around groups of children carrying out outdoor adventures and activities, especially sailing.
This volume sees the Swallows travel in a small sailing cutter called the Goblin, which is almost identical to Ransome's own boat, Nancy Blackett.
