The intrepid Swallows (explorers John, Susan, Titty, and Roger
Walker) and fearsome Amazon pirates (Nancy and Peggy Blackett) sail
the high seas, outwitting a pirate and his cutthroat crew, sharks,
and the ravenous creatures of Crab Island in search of buried
treasure. 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. Friendship,
resourcefulness, and sailing, too: Arthur Ransome's Swallows and
Amazons series has stood the test of time. More than just great
stories, each one celebrates independence and initiative with a
colorful, large cast of characters. Peter Duck (originally
published in 1932) is the third title in the Swallows and Amazons
series, books for children or grownups, anyone captivated by a
world of adventure and imagination.
