Title: Swallows and Amazons on ice
Review: This was always one of my favourites of the Swallows and Amazons series when I was a boy, perhaps because I could identify myself with Dick, the character who first appears in this book. Also, it was a bright idea of Ransome's to change the usual summer setting of his books to winter for this one, and show the characters and scenes in a new light.What is so enjoyable about the whole series is the perfect balance between imagination and reality. Real people, real places, but also imaginary explorations ranging from gold mines to the North Pole. And it is so easy for the reader to picture him- or herself joining in.My sons enjoyed the books just as much as I did, and I don't see why another generation or two shouldn't do so as well.
