Arthur Ransome's "Swallows
and Amazons" is the first in a classic series of children's stories that will appeal to readers of all ages.
The book is set in the English Lake District in the period between the two World Wars, (where the author was living at
the time). It tells of a time when a healthy imagination (and the freedom to take advantage of it) was enough to keep
most youngsters both amused and out of mischief. The world was a safer and simpler place back then and this book does
much to make us realise just how much has been irretrievably lost since. Not that this was ever Ransome's intention, of
course. He was simply drawing upon his own boyhood experiences (from a yet earlier time) as well as contemporary ones of
the children of a family friend. He used these to weave an enchanting tale that would remind those same children (by
then returned 'home' to the deserts of the Middle East) of a happy summer spent sailing in England.
The story's
strong basis in reality (albeit several separate realities, as it were), tempered with Ransome's love of sailing (and
his knowledge of Lake District life), imbue the book with a strong sense of authority. Both the text and the author's
own pen-and-ink illustrations also have an endearing charm that comes across even now, some 70 years after the book was
first published. One of the great things about this book (and indeed, the whole series of books that was to follow) is
that Ransome avoids most of the stereotypical treatments of children's roles that his contemporaries (as well as later
authors) continually espoused. He always manages to treat (nearly!) all of his characters as equal partners in their
activities, whatever their age, gender or background. The children are also afforded a greater respect and rather more
freedom by the adults than is common these days, too.
And while the children's 'adventures' are nothing fantastical
or extra-ordinary when viewed from an absolute perspective, Ransome manages to convey so much of the children's own
excitement at their activities that the reader can't help being drawn into their world and so come to share some of that
same excitement. All in all, this a delightful book and should be on everybody's essential reading list, regardless of
their age! (AC)
This is a new CD rip   - Alex Jennings' narration is excellent of
course!
