Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Born in Leeds in 1884, he enjoyed active, outdoor holidays, many of which became the settings for his children s stories. Swallows and Amazons, the first of the series of the same name, is regarded as a timeless classic of children s literature.
