For anyone who loves sailing and adventure, Arthur Ransome's classic Swallows and Amazons series stands alone. Originally published in the UK over a half century ago, these books are still eagerly read by children, despite their length and their decidedly British protagonists.

We attribute their success to two facts: first, Ransome is a great storyteller, and second, he clearly writes from first-hand experience. Independence and initiative are qualities any child can understand and every volume in this collection celebrates these virtues.

The third book in Arthur Ransome's wonderful series for children, Peter Duck takes intrepid explorers John, Susan, Titty, and Roger Walker, and fearsome Amazon pirates Nancy and Peggy Blackett, onto the high seas. Under the command of the infamous Captain Flint (Nancy and Peggy's Uncle Jim), the children brave a real-life pirate and his cutthroat crew, fog, sharks, and the ravenous crabs of Crab Island in the search for buried treasure.

All 12 novels in the Swallows and Amazons series have been brought to life in the US in print by David R. Godine, Publisher.

One of a kind, delightful warm-hearted characters and thrilling adventures on the sea. Mr. Duck is a gem, and Allison Larkin puts sparkle into the story beyond the average read aloud.

For a child who loves to imagine an adventure that’s just a little outlandish yet still plausible, there’s nothing like Arthur Ransome. Highly recommended for a fun summertime listen.

I grew up reading and loving the Swallows and Amazons series. Peter Duck is always a favorite. Unfortunately the reader doesn't apparently doesn't know much about sailing and mispronounced numerous terms which was a bit annoying.

Great Sailing Story, reader doesn't know boats
