Story
Great Northern? is the 12th, and final, book in Arthur Ransome's acclaimed series. Once again, the children set out on an adventure (this one off the coast of Scotland) with a minimum of parental advice and interference. Here, the story centers on a desperate race to thwart the efforts of pernicious egg collectors threatening the survival of a pair of rare birds not previously known to nest in British waters.

Story
In this (more or less) sequel to the adventures of Coot Club, Arthur Ransome returns once more to his beloved Norfolk Broads where trouble is again brewing for Joe, Bill, and Pete, the three boatbuilders' sons who live aboard the Death and Glory, and the three Coots, Tom, Dorothea and Dick. The problem seems to be that boats are constantly being set adrift and all the evidence points squarely at the three Death and Glories. In a clever bit of detective work, the Big Six manage to exonerate themselves and catch the villains.

In Missee Lee, the original cast of the famed series is sailing under the stars and the command of Captain Flint in the South China Sea when Gibbet, their pet monkey, grabs the captain's cigar and drops it in the fuel tank. In minutes, the ship is ablaze (and doomed), and our seven luckless protagonists are adrift in two small boats. They make their way to land, only to find themselves the captives of one of the last remaining pirates operating off the China Coast. However, Missee Lee, as it turns out, is no ordinary pirate....

Story
Arthur Ransome brilliantly wrote about Oscar Wilde in A Critical Study, published in 1912, and then went on to write the popular and better known children's series, Swallows and Amazons, in 1930. Ransome considers Oscar Wilde a visionary of whom every classical scholar must know. Oscar Wilde changed the culture of his own day and, by doing so, changed ours. Wilde tried various literary activities, poetry, drama, dialogues and essays, a novel, and even wrote about interior decoration. To him, art was supreme, and he pursued that ideal in every expression that he encountered.

Třetí kniha ze série o Vlaštovkách a Amazonkách se odehrává na moři, kam děti vypluly s Petrem Kachnou hledat poklad. Odolají pronásledujícím pirátům? "Petr Kachna" je třetí díl románového cyklu o prázdninových dobrodružstvích dvou dětských sourozeneckých skupin, které si říkají Vlaštovky a Amazonky. Jedna z Vlaštovek Titty Walkerová si během minulých prázdnin stvořila ve své fantazii vysloužilého námořníka Petra Kachnu, který v této knize ožívá. A proč ne? Společně vyplouvají se strýčkem Jimem alias kapitánem Flintem ve škuneru Divoká kočka na moře, protože Petr Kachna ví, kde je uložen poklad.

Story
K jezeru na anglickém venkově přijíždí opět po roce strávit báječné letní prázdniny čtveřice dětí - Vlaštovky. Společnost jim mají dělat dvě místní dívky - Amazonky. Ze začátku se nic nedaří podle plánu. Amazonky nemohou tábořit na ostrově Divokých koček, protože na návštěvu přijela prateta a tak místo dobrodružných pirátských výprav musí být nastrojené ve svátečních šatech. A aby toho nebylo málo, Vlaštovky nešťastně ztroskotají a přijdou tak o svou loď. Žádná nesnáz ale nemůže porazit děti s fantazií a odhodláním.
