Falconer's Crew & The Fairies of Clayffe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781712192962)

It is the summer of 1932 & once again the Wilkinson family are headed for the Lake District on their holidays. Having discovered Arthur Ransome's recently published story, Swallows & Amazons, the Wilkinson children, Tom, Caroline, Julie and Jimmy, are looking forward to, & planning for, exciting seafaring adventures of their own as they become intent on exploration of the big lake situated close to their holiday home at Falls Farm. However, their plans change after their mother shows them a map from her own childhood adventures and they then begin to look forward to exciting times in a boat owned by the tenants of Falls Farm, following in their mother's footsteps as fierce pirate hunters sailing the high seas. Mother tells them lots of things about her own sea voyages on the lake alongside her brothers and sisters, which fires their imaginations, & nothing more so than tales of fairies & their customs, of pirates & their mischievous ways, which tales inspire them, enriching their summer holidays spent in the great outdoors. But such inspiration doesn't exactly prepare them for what lies ahead as they sail Falconer over the vast oceans.Based on the author's own childhood adventures, this is an enchanting tale that is set in an equally enchanting landscape - a tale that will delight children and the more imaginative of adults alike.
