The ultimate children`s classic
- long summer days filled with adventure. John, Susan, Titty & Roger sail their boat, Swallow, to a deserted island for a summer camping trip. Exploring & playing sailors is an adventure in itself but the island holds more excitement in store. Two fierce Amazon pirates, Nancy & Peggy, challenge them to war & a summer of battles & alliances ensues. ` My childhood simply would not have been the same without this book. It created a whole world to explore, one that lasted long in the imagination after the final page had been read`
