But unforeseen events separate the travellers and disaster nearly strikes in the exciting climax of their race to the Pole.Īrthur Ransome was a prolific writer of children's books. Joined by budding novelist Dorethes Callum and her scientist brother Dick, the children plan an ‘Arctic’ expedition. The fourth book in Arthur Ransome's classic series, Winter Holiday takes intrepid explorers John, Susan, Titty and Roger Walker, and fearsome Amazon pirates Nancy and Peggy Blackett to the North Pole. Such longevity is not only due to Ransome’s unparalleled gift of storytelling, but also his championing of qualities such as independence and initiative virtues that appeal to every generation, whether young or old. Originally published over a half-century ago, the twelve books are still eagerly read by children and adults alike – by all those captivated by the world of adventure and imagination. For anyone who loves sailing and adventure, Arthur Ransome's classic Swallows and Amazons series stands alone.
