![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At one point the Walker children tie their boat up to a dock with a sign warning against trespassers, but it is the dead of night and it would be dangerous for them to continue. While they never actually tell a direct lie about this, they are definitely not open about it, and a couple of grown-ups keep the secret for them as well. In one case, a couple of girls slip out of their house at night when they're supposed to be in bed. In general, the children of Swallows and Amazons are about as moral heroes as you could ask for, honorable and responsible, with only a couple of exceptions. The six children proceed to have grand adventures as they plot the downfall of 'retired pirate Captain Flint', the Blackett's inattentive uncle. While on their grand adventure, they meet the Blackett girls, Nancy and Ruth, who sail the pirate ship the Amazon. When the Walker family spend their summer in the British lake country, they beg to be allowed to sail their small boat, Swallow, and camp out on a small island in the center of the lake. A charming sea adventure with a noble crew. ![]()
