A classic tale of real children in the winter Lake District in the North West of England.
A follow-up to the previous two adventures set around the lake - part Windermere and part Coniston - 'Swallows and Amazons' and 'Swallowdale'. It introduces the two 'D's' Dick and Dorothea who continue their adventures in 'Coot Club' and 'The Big Six' ion the Norfolk Broads as well as other books in the Lake area.
A wonderful read for youngsters.
