The Picts and the Martyrs Résumé

The Picts and the Martyrs: or Not Welcome At All Arthur Ransome

The dreaded Great Aunt has invited herself to stay with Nancy and Peggy just as their friends Dick and Dorothea arrive for the Summer holiday. Nancy and Peggy have to become Martyrs, wearing dresses and reading poetry (but breaking out at night), while Dick and Dorothea become Picts, secret inhabitants of the country who must never let themselves be seen. It's a desperate gamble to keep everyone out of trouble - but can it possibly work against the eagle eyes of the fearsome Great Aunt?

The Picts and the Martyrs Avis

Stands out in triumph. It is firm, intelligent, in tune with twentieth-century mentality and well-written * Times Literary Supplement *
Quite up to the best standards of its predecessors, and to all old Ransome devotees the return to the lake of the first novels gives an added pleasure * Glasgow Herald *
Stands out in triumph * Times Literary Supplement *
