Swallows and Amazons

Question number 17.

Who wrote the children's book series Swallows and Amazons? Arthur Ransom.

Question number 18.

Which American Olympic swimmer played Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and Tarzan in movies of the 1930s and 40s? Buster Crabb.

Great poems for kids.

Tony, anything by Arthur Ransome, but Swallows and Amazons especially.

So yeah, keep them coming, people.

Keep them coming.

And we also spent a week on an island called North Rona, which was deserted.

And we were living like swallows in Amazons.

It was amazing.

And I had a sat phone and I texted a few mates.

And then you've also got people like Arthur Ransom.

So if you are heading over to Coniston and you're interested in, as well as sort of Donald Campbell and the Bluebird, Coniston is famous for the inspirations for Swallows and Amazons.

So again, it's a beautiful area to sort of explore with your literary mind at heart.

Oh, it is.
