It all begins when Peter Duck, an elderly sailor once marooned on an island in the Caribbean, tells a tale to the Swallows and Amazons. It's a tale of buried treasure and unfortunately, when the kids set sail to find it, the pirate Jake, captain of the Viper, follows. Across the Atlantic Ocean, through fog, threats from pirate Jake, a hurricane, and an earthquake once they land, the Swallows and Amazons have to find the treasure, evade the pirates, and return safely home to England. Arthur Ransome (1884-1967), spent time in Russia during World War I as a journalist for a radical British newspaper, the Daily News, and also wrote about the literary life of London and about Russia before during and after the revolutions of 1917. His connection with the leaders of the Revolution led to him providing information to the Secret Intelligence Service, while he was also suspected of being a Soviet spy by MI5. He settled with his Russian wife near Coniston in the Lake District, where he wrote his most famous 'Swallows and Amazons' books. Quite a scarce book, even in this later impression.
