- Explicacions
- tardis: I can't recall exactly what I loved at age 11 (it was a long time ago!) but I have loved Swallows and Amazons since I first read it, which was at least that long ago.reading_fox: Read all of them over the years, but haven't been back to re-visit them. The new film is actually pretty good too.thorold: Sailing, codes, exploring, pirates - how could this be improved?

- Gateaupain: It was in the family revolving book-case and it is only later that I realised its social significance. I didn't even know it was set in America. I still have the bookcase 75 years later

- Explicacions
- paradoxosalpha: I remember reading this one when I was ten, in fact. I have vivid memories of reading it in my grammar school library, although I had checked out the book (in a sturdy old library hardcover) from the public library.
