WE DIDN'T MEAN TO GO TO SEA

by Arthur Ransome ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 19, 1938

Probably we are unduly partial to Ransome, but it seems to us that he is consistently tops in his stories of children and boats -- and this is good Ransome. The same Walker tribe -- John, Susan, Roger and Titty, are the central figures, and an unpredictable accident sets them adrift, in a new friend's outter, and against odds of storm and fog, cross the North Sea to Holland. There's more than due quota of nautical terminology, so it is ideal for the budding skippers.
