Acerca de esta escucha
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.
Swallows and Amazons, the book that started it all in 1930, introduces the Walker family, the camp on Wild Cat Island, the able-bodied catboat "Swallow", and the two intrepid Amazons, plucky Nancy and Peggy Blackett. (All 12 novels in the Swallows and Amazons series have been brought to life in the U.S. in print by David R. Godine, Publisher.)

In the first of three books about their adventures, Daddy has just gone off to World War II. One of his final words to his daughter Joan is, "No dogs!" She would dearly love such a pet, but life is full and so many new friends - pets as well as people - join the Mitchells, so she hardly has time to think about dogs. The children form a club to do their part for the war-effort - first and foremost helping Mother, of course.

Elizabeth Ann is being carefully brought up by her Aunt Frances. Aunt Frances shares in all Elizabeth Ann's fears and slights, walks her to and from school each day, and conscientiously follows the most modern theories on child-rearing. She is the original helicopter parent. Not surprisingly, at nine years old Elizabeth Ann is timid and shy, friendless, and completely dependent on her doting aunt. Then an emergency occurs, and the fearful little girl is temporarily sent to other relatives who live on a farm in Vermont.

12-year-old Aidan Errolson, comes from a long line of adventurers. His grandparents were among the first settlers of Corenwald's Eastern Frontier. His father had been one of the kingdom's greatest warriors. Aidan, on the other hand, lives the quiet, comfortable life, of a nobleman's son. He never has any real adventures, and that, he believes, is the one great injustice of his otherwise happy life. All that will change the day he first hears the bark of the bog owl, and meets Dobro Turtlebane.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Thornton Waldo Burgess (1874-1965) was a conservationist and author of children's stories.

This is a story of the days of chivalry in England and of young Myles Falworth, son of a lord unjustly disgraced for treason, who was forced to make his fortune as best he might in the days when men seemed made of iron. How he entered the service of a powerful lord, rose to knighthood, defeated his father's old enemy in thrilling combat, and at last won the friendship of the king is told against a background of the dangerous times of the 14th century that makes them live again.

This is a story of the days of chivalry in England and of young Myles Falworth, son of a lord unjustly disgraced for treason, who was forced to make his fortune as best he might in the days when men seemed made of iron. How he entered the service of a powerful lord, rose to knighthood, defeated his father's old enemy in thrilling combat, and at last won the friendship of the king is told against a background of the dangerous times of the 14th century that makes them live again.

kids loved and are begging for next book in series
Kids loved and are begging for next book in series. It is read in a British voice. Easy to understand, and my kids have had practice, but a warning if it's a new accent for your family.

Simply Delightful
like "the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe" without magic... but plenty of imagination and adventure. For anyone who loves boats, sailing, adventure, camping, and the occasional simplicity of childhood.
Narration by Alison Larkin is beautifully paced and delivered with enthusiasm and skill.
one of the only "5-Star" across the board reviews I've given.

Terrific Adventure
Where does Swallows and Amazons rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Among the best. The story is a treat to listen to. I loved the book when I was a kid. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it in 2014
Who was your favorite character and why?
Probably Titty because she has a vivid imagination that becomes an important part of the Swallows and Amazons adventure. I loved the scenes when she is left alone on the island and is bold enough to steal the Amazons sail boat.
What about Alison Larkin’s performance did you like?
She did a great job of creating the characters.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
the best dramatic moment is when the arrow with the green feather tip lands in the Swallows campfire. A surprise worthy of J. K. Rowling and the best of Children's Literature.

My grandson recommended that I listen to this series. I put it off, thinking it was "just for kids." Boy, was I wrong! It is a wonderful story, beautifully written and narrated. I can't wait to start the next one.
