5.0 out of 5 stars Detective work on the Norfolk Broads, 1 May 2001
The other group of children that Arthur Ransome created, the Death or Glories and Tom Dudgeon, Port and Starboard, collectively known as the Coot Club are here embroiled in another adventure. Accompanied by the Ds, whom avid readers will know from earlier AR books, they turn detective and track down the villians who are casting off boats on the Norfolk Broads. As usual Arthur Ransome was writing in a class of his own. A note of caution: don't imagine that Norfolk and the surrounding countryside, especially Lowestoft, bears any resemblance to the places described in these books. The last two thirds of the 20th century were not kind to our poor old country and nowhere is this more starkly illustrated than in our seaside towns.Read the book instead and dream of life before the car was king.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Coot Club detective story!, 30 Jan 2001
By A Customer
someone is casting off boats on the Norfolk Broads and trying to lay the blame on the Coot Club. When Dick and Dorothea Callum come to visit, the Coot Club becomes Scotland Yard and they are determined to track down the perpetrators and prove their innocence. An intriguing detective story, well up to the best standards of Arthur Ransome's story telling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story about defending honour and upholding truth, 21 April 2008
By Richard M. Marshall (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Big Six (Hardcover)
Defending the poor Death and Glories against the infamous behaviour of the middle-class Coot Club enemy George. Superb story, easy to read out loud, and addressing serious issues without damaging the narrative or excitement. My 8 year old daughter just wanted more and more of this story. The fact that it's old fashioned worries her not a whit. Strangely enough I never read this story as a child - wish I had!
