After settling in, they are challenged to war by the Blackett sisters (who are also excellent sailors), and run into conflict with an old pirate who lives on a houseboat. When they arrive, they are surprised to find that it is the perfect island for a camp, and that someone has used it for that exact purpose before. When Father sends a telegram giving his permission for them to sail together, they decide to pack provisions and set up camp on the small mysterious island. After all, their father did teach them how to sail before he was called to sea again.
John, Susan, Titty and Roger Walker are enjoying their vacation on a farm but are desperate to take the farmer's little sailboat out on the lake and explore the islands and coves. What a charming surprise! Originally written in the 1930's, this series by Arthur Ransome follows the adventures of the four Walker siblings and the Blackett sisters who meet when the Walkers go on a summer holiday on the shore of a large lake.
I have to admit, I had never heard of this series, but when it was requested by a customer, I decided to check it out.
