The Picts And The Martyrs: Or Not Welcome At All (#11)

Description

The Ds can't wait to go and stay with Nancy and Peggy in the Lake District during the summer holidays. But when the Amazons' dreadful Great Aunt invites herself to stay too, the summer is threatened with dullness. Staying indoors and reading poetry is not what the Amazons had in mind. To save the Ds from the same fate they organise for them to stay in the Dogs' Home, a tumble-down hut in the woods. As long as no one discovers they're there they can sail all summer long...

Reviews

"Stands out in triumph. It is firm, intelligent, in tune with twentieth-century mentality and well-written" Times Literary Supplement "Quite up to the best standards of its predecessors, and to all old Ransome devotees the return to the lake of the first novels gives an added pleasure" Glasgow Herald
