brilliant adventure, best one so far. w...e've been enjoying reading the series to our 5 year old daughter
Peter Duck is the third book in the series and is just ...as much a page turner as the first two books, Swallows and Amazons, and Swallowdale. Although this series of books is identified as 'children's books' the standard of writing is so good that I would say they are books about children and equally enjoyable to readers of an older generation. Although Peter Duck is a complete story in itself, in order to appreciate all the references it is advisable to start at the beginning with Swallows and Amazons. The particular copy I bought on ebay actually fell apart as I was reading it and although it didn't spoil the enjoyment I am unable to pass it on to anyone
