We Didn't Mean To Go To Sea (Hardcover, New Ed)

Probably we are unduly partial to Ransome, but it seems to us that he is consistently tops in his stories of children and boats - and this is good Ransome. The same Walker tribe - John, Susan, Roger and Titty, are the central figures, and an unpredictable accident sets them adrift, in a new friend's outter, and against odds of storm and fog, cross the North Sea to Holland. There's more than due quota of nautical terminology, so it is ideal for the budding skippers. (Kirkus Reviews)

'Like to spend a night in the Goblin?' The Swallows are staying on the Suffolk coast while they wait for their father to return home from China. But although the harbour is bursting with bobbing yachts, barges and steamers, this year there's no chance of any sailing for the landlocked Swallows. That is until they rescue young Jim Brading and his boat the Goblin from a sticky situation and to their delight are recruited as crew members. Mother agrees they can go, on one condition - they absolutely must not sail out past Beach End Buoy and into the open sea...
