Sinossi

"There is a nice sense of period about these kids coping on their own under extraordinary, but quite believable, circumstances—lisle pullovers and plimsolls at the ready—but the human anguish between them is universal and timeless, although there are lots of laughs on the way, too. Highly recommended."—The Stage

Informazioni sull?autore

Ransome is best-known for his 'Swallows and Amazons' series of books about a family holidaying in the Norfolk Broads and enjoying sailing, camping and fishing. His books have since been translated into many languages. He won the first Carnegie Medal for Literature in 1936 for Pigeon Post, whilst also working as a journalist on The Manchester Guardian. His interest in Russia and sympathy for the Bolsheviks brought him to the attention of MI6 and led to him compiling a book of Russian folklore: Old Peter's Russian Tales. We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea was based on Ransome's voyage across the North Sea to Flushing. He based the fictional Goblin on his own boat Nancy Blackett. Nick Wood is an established playwright with many credits. Aurora Metro have also published 'Girl With a Book and Other Plays' by Nick Wood.
