Sai com'è. Buio all'ora del tè e dormire in casa: non succede mai niente durante le vacanze invernali." O almeno così pensa Nancy. Poi il lago si ghiaccia completamente e le Rondini e le Amazzoni, insieme a Dick e Dorothea, "i D", organizzano una gara per trovare il Polo Nord. Come faranno a raggiungerlo se non possono navigare? Con le slitte, ovviamente. Ma quando scoppia una tormenta di neve e c'è un malinteso sui segnali, i D scompaiono nella notte artica. Il disastro incombe. Riusciranno le Rondini e le Amazzoni a salvare i loro amici?

Arthur Ransome was born in Leeds in 1884 and went to school at Rugby. He was in Russia in 1917, and witnessed the Revolution, which he reported for the Manchester Guardian.
After escaping to Scandinavia, he settled in the Lake District with his Russian wife where, in 1929, he wrote Swallows and Amazons. And so began a writing career which has produced some of the real children's treasures of all time. In 1936 he won the first ever Carnegie Medal for his book, Pigeon Post.
Ransome died in 1967. He and his wife Evgenia lie buried in the churchyard of St Paul's Church, Rusland, in the southern Lake District.
