This week, we're offering 20% off this exceptional first edition of Swallows and Amazons, with the code RANSOME20.


This is an exceptionally lovely and rare find, especially in as clean condition as this, with only a couple of other examples currently available.

This hard-to-find children's classic is Ransome's adventure novel, set in the Lake District in the summer of 1929, and was inspired by a summer spent by Ransome teaching his friends' children to sail, and is the first book in his Swallows and Amazons series. The book follows the adventures of two families holidaying in the Lake District, the Walker children and their dinghy, 'Swallow', and the Blackett children and their dinghy, 'Amazon'.

The tale was well received by both critics and readers, with its magic being found in the relatability of the story, allowing children to dream of their own summer adventures. The novel has been adapted on several occasions, to radio, tv, and film, most recently in 2016. This is a rare opportunity to add this beautiful children's classic to your collection. It is truly a book to cherish.
