The Picts and the Martyrs - Arthur Ransome

This is a great novel bey the author who won the very first Cilip Carnegie award over 70 years ago with the first book in the series: Swallows and amazons. The book has characters that we love and know but it is a very different book to the other ones in this series. Ransome has created stories of adventure so good that all children will wish that they were the characters in the book when they read it. Shivering Timbers and barbecued bobcats these are Brilliant works!
