5.0 out of 5 stars Enemies on all sides, can stealth and cunning win the day?, 11 April 2001
This review is from: Great Northern? (Red Fox Older Fiction) (Paperback)
Another wonderful story of the Swallows, Amazons and Ds. This time they are far out in the Scottish Highlands and, unusually, it is the mild-mannered Dick, rather than the fiery Nancy who is calling the shots. Rather than ape the myriad reviews that give you a banal synopsis of the plot, I will simply say that this, like all the other books in the series, is a jewel that you and your children will want to gaze upon again and again. If I can find fault with these books, and I'm sure Arthur Ransome would agree with me, it is the dreadful, vulgar cover illustrations that Red Fox Publishing has chosen for their reissue. It is close to sacrilegious that such fine writing should be dressed in such appalling style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent outdoor adventures of children, 17 Nov 2000
This review is from: Great Northern? (Hardcover)
Like all Arthur Ransome's childrens books the Great Northern? adventures take place out-of-doors and with a close affiliation to boats and nature. Children can easily identify with the characters and are stimulated to attempt the wholesome lifestyle portrayed. Although a little old-fashioned and perhaps romantic for this century, this book will give great enjoyment to its readers and will encourage those whose first Arthur Ransome book this might be to read about its characters in other volumes. For those who know the characters already, this is a welcome addition to the series.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Great Northern? (Hardcover)
Childhood memories relived in this well-produced edition of an old favourite. The Swallows,Amazons and Dees travel to Scotland where they sail round the islands in a borrowed boat, creating problems with the locals as Dick tries to prove the first known nesting of a rare bird.
