A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'Ahoy! Ahoy! Swallows! Ahoy!'

Have you ever sailed in a boat or built a camp? Have you caught trout and cooked it yourself? The four Swallows, John, Susan, Titty and Roger return to the lake full of such plans and they can't wait to meet up with Nancy and Peggy, the Amazon Pirates. When the Swallow is shipwrecked and the Amazon's fearsome Great-Aunt decides to make a visit their summer seems ruined. Then they discover a wonderful hidden valley and things take a turn for the better...

Includes exclusive material: In ‘The Backstory’ you can discover the real Swallowdale, swot up on seafaring and learn all about the adventurous author.
