Peter Duck Résumé

Peter Duck Arthur Ransome

'Why do they call him Black Jake? Is it because of his hair?' Titty asked.
'Because of his heart' said Peter Duck

The Swallows and Amazons, as well as Captain Flint and the ancient able seaman Peter Duck, set sail on the Wild Cat bound for the Channel. But they are shadowed by the Viper, manned by none other than Black Jake - a beastly pirate with a dark plan. Can the children race ahead and uncover the buried treasure before the pirate? Can they survive storms, earthquakes, crabs and even a waterspout and make it home?

Peter Duck Avis

In many ways Peter Duck is the best of the series. * Guardian *
So well written that you don't realize that it is written at all. The adventures just seem to occur to oneself. * Hugh Walpole, Observer *
This is the real stuff of imagination which might so easily happen. . . all the details are true to life, the ship is a real ship, with all its sails and rigging made familiar, and the voyage which those happy children make to southern seas and coral islands is the beautiful possibility of daring and freedom become living and credible. * Listener *

After escaping to Scandinavia, he settled in the Lake District with his Russian wife where, in 1929, he wrote Swallows and Amazons.
