It was going to be a great summer for the Amazons until their great aunt came to stay. Shes decided the Blackett sisters need to act more like ladiesand that makes adventures a little bit more of a challenge!The Amazons mother (doubtless suffering from exhaustion) has gone off sailing in the North Sea with Captain Flint on a rest cure, but she has allowed her two daughters to stay on the lakeshore with their trusty cook. Shes also permitted their two old friends, Dick and Dorothea Callum, to come up for a visit. But when the redoubtable Great Aunt hears of their abandonment, shes horrified and off on the next train.The Amazons are dismayed; not only will their solo holiday be ruined but now theyll have to hide their two guests in the woods in an abandoned shepherds cottage (where theyll be forced to live off the land like the ancient Celtic, Picts) while the Blackett sisters will be required to dress up in white pinafores, practice the piano, and recite reams of poetry aloud (therefore The Martyrs).Friendship and resourcefulness, dangers and excitement: Arthur Ransomes Swallows and Amazons series has stood the test of time. More than just great stories, each one celebrates independence and initiative with a colorful, large cast of characters. The Picts & the Martyrs (originally published in 1943) is the eleventh title in the Swallows and Amazons series, books for children or grownups, anyone captivated by a world of adventure, exploration, and imagination.
