It’s summer 1929 in the Lake District and Roger, John, Susan and Titty sail to a deserted island aboard Swallow, where they enjoy hiking, fishing and sailing adventures. The island holds more in store for them when two ferocious pirates challenge Roger and his siblings to a battle that lasts the summer months.
A timeless classic from Arthur Ransome, reminiscing his childhood of long summer days filled with adventure, this book will spark your child’s imagination and teach them to venture outside for their own escapades.
Remade in this beautiful 350 page hardback edition with original illustrations from Ransome, this personalised Swallows and Amazon book beautifully embellishes your child’s name in foil on the cover and features a special message on the title page.

Quick prompt delivery
I purchased the spider man book for my nephew, the product came promptly and I was updated to its delivery progress which was helpful. The only issue that I encountered was that the website kept crashing so I had to enter the information several times and I was unable to load the picture I wanted at the back of the book, which was a shame. Other than that, good quality book which my nephew loved seeing his name in throughout.
