Jennings's pace quickens when the sailboat battles occur and relaxes when the children collapse around the fire. The many characters are distinct individuals-from the Australian mom to a neighboring farm wife to serious older siblings and the head-over-heels enthusiastic younger kids. It is a literate book full of magic for children and adults, which Jennings's reading amplifies. In 1902, Ransome abandoned a chemistry degree to become a publisher's office boy in London. The book features Walker siblings (The Swallows) and Blackett sisters (The Amazons), camping in the hills and moorland country around a lake, with Maria Turner, the Blacketts' Great Aunt, acting as an antagonist.
