Swallows and AmazonsSwallows and Amazons

Set over an idyllic English summer holiday, the four Walker children and their sailing rivals, the Blacketts, run amok in their boats against the stunning backdrop of the Lake District.nThe Walkers sail the agile Swallow and the Blacketts commandeer The Amazon, making camp on a nearby island. Their world is one of imagination – filled with pirates and canons, where boats are captured and the enemy has to walk the plank.nBut when family friend, Uncle Jim is revealed to be a spy, our motley crew are forced to put down their imaginary swords and band together to protect him from his Soviet enemies.nIn the vein of Nim’s Island, Swallows and Amazons is an inspiring adventure for all the family, based on Arthur Ransome’s beloved children’s classics.
