A group of children spend their summer holidays on a goldmining adventure.

'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.

While on vacation in East Anglia, four children, whose previous sailing experience is limited to dinghies, accidentally drift out to the North Sea after the rising tide causes their cutter to drag anchor.

Another saga of the Swallows and Amazons. A happy holiday planned by the children is spoiled by the arrival of the Great Aunt.

Tells of the adventures of two sets of children as they holiday in the Lake District.

Nothing except a polar expedition full of mountain rescues, blizzards, igloos, ice saling, illness and heroic work amidst the fozen wastes. For Dick and Dorothea newcomers to the lake, meeting up with the Swallows and Amazons prove to be adventure.

'Why do they call him Black Jake? Is it because of his hair?' Titty asked. 'Because of his heart' said Peter Duck. The Swallows and Amazons, as well as Captain Flint and the ancient able seaman Peter Duck, set sail on the Wild Cat bound for the Channel.

'A magnificent exploring adventure.' - The Times Literary Supplement.
