A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'Swallows and Amazons for ever!'

The Walker children - also known as Captain John, Mate Susan, Able-seaman Titty, and Ship's Boy Roger - set sail on the Swallow and head for Wild Cat Island. There they camp under open skies, swim in clear water and go fishing for their dinner. But their days are disturbed by the Blackett sisters, the fierce Amazon pirates. The Swallows and Amazons decide to battle it out, and so begins a summer of unforgettable discoveries and incredible adventures.

Includes exclusive material: In ‘The Backstory’ you can try to crack the Swallows’ code and learn all about the adventurous author.

Présentation de l'éditeur

A new play from the amazing creative team behind the National Theatre's War Horse and Coram Boy. All aboard The Swallow! Follow Captain John and his able crew as they set sail to Wildcat Island on an exotic adventure to encounter savages, capture dastardly pirates and defeat mortal enemies. An action-packed musical adventure, Swallows and Amazons is a story of an idyllic era, of endless summer evenings and the beauty of youthful imagination. Following a sold out run at the Bristol Old Vic and before a UK tour, Helen Edmundson's adaptation of Arthur Ransome's rip-roaring adventure Swallows and Amazons sails into the Vaudeville theatre for the Christmas season. Critics and audiences alike loved this action-packed musical-adventure for the whole family.
