I started reading the S&A books back in the mid-1960's when I was still in grade school. My mom had read them as a young girl and she got me started. I now own all 12 of the books in the series and I re-read them every couple years. Even though I know all the plot lines, Ransome tells such great stories that I always enjoy them as much as the first time I read them about 50 years ago. They're perfect for adventure lovers of any age!! Although you don't HAVE to read the books in order in order, it's better if you do as the author develops the existing characters and introduces new ones as he goes along so you get to know them. Swallowdale is the second in the series after Swallows and Amazons. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ which has always been my favourite in the series *by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018* such a lovely, evocative and nostalgic book, which has always been my favourite in the series. I'm always struck with an overwhelming urge to go camping in the dales after reading these! The characters are very relatable and likable despite this book being 87 odd years old!I would have given it a full 5 stars were it not for the fact that close to $10 is an absolute outrage for a kindle book which has been in publication since 1931.This is a classic in my opinion, and it's sad to think that price might prohibit some readers from purchasing it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captivating and inspiring adventures for all ages *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2011* This is a sequel to Ransome's children's adventure book "Swallows and Amazons." And Swallowdale is just as good, if not better than the first volume. It is another captivating book full of adventures. This time, the Swallows and the Amazons (two groups of children with sailing ships spending their summer holidays at a lake in England) are forced to spend the first part of their holiday on land. It makes for a nice change of scenery in the story line as they explore inland, discover caves, climb mountains and try to get away from a very stern great aunt. In the end, they are able to return to sailing their beloved ships, at which point their summer vacation can truly begin.Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series are fabulous books. And Swallowdale is one of the best. It's well written, captivating, inspirational, uplifting, enjoyable and funny. The adventures of the main protagonists take any child on a wonderful journey of experiences most children dream about. Sailing, exploring the unknown, plotting with friends and allies against naughty grown ups, fishing, hiding, playing games...what more would any child want to do spend their summer? This series was written before WWII when children had no TVs and video games so they played outside. These books were always inspirational to me and I'm glad to say that they help inspire the same sense of adventure and appreciation for the outdoors in my children. I highly recommend this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5510599-swallowdale-swallows-and-amazons-series](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5510599-swallowdale-swallows-and-amazons-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
