Description

Lastly! This is actually the twelfth, and final, book in Arthur Ransome's recommended Swallows and Amazons series. Individuals familiar with his earlier work may identify the routine: kids put down on an experience (that one off the coast of Scotland) with no less than adult guidance and disturbance. Below, the tale centers around a desperate battle to circumvent the initiatives of pernicious egg enthusiasts threatening the success of the set of unusual birds not formerly recognized to nest in British seas (really, the chicken may be the fine United States "Great Northern Diver," additionally called a loon).
