Description

Within this (more or less) sequel to the activities of Coot Team, Arthur Ransome returns once more to his precious Norfolk Broads where difficulty is again brewing for Joe, Expenses, and Pete, the three boatbuilders' kids who (more or less) live full time aboard the Death and Beauty and the three Coots, Ben, Dorothea and Wang. The issue appears to be that ships are continuously being set adrift, and all of the evidence points directly in the three Death and Glories. In a clever little bit of detective work, and with some support from an enhanced final lure, the Major Six have the ability to exonerate themselves and capture the villains.Of program, this e-book, like all Ransome games, is approximately much more than clever detective work; it's the odor of water and tarred string, the noise of chickens, and the plight of children left for their own products and managing with anything from getting monster pike to trapping night eels.Ransome, who authored these imperishable publications, spent his youth in England's Lake District, and following a career in writing that required him to Spain (where he hitched Trostskyis secretary), China, and Egypt (spread with summers of touring through the Baltic Sea and the waterways of Europe), he retired to Coniston where he might undertake his beloved hobbies of sailing and angling and where he wrote Swallows and Amazons. What sets these books aside from other books of the time is equally his focus on detail and his excellent capability to give a wealth of useful info.
