Some Great Sailing Themed Fiction
Swallows and Amazons – a classic, this is the first in the series of 12 novels by Arthur Ransome, about a group of children who go sailing and have lots of adventures – think the Famous Five on water.
The Salt Stained Book – This is the first book in a trilogy by Julia Jones who grew up on Arthur Ransome’s boat Peter Duck. These books are the modern version of Swallows and Amazons, a fun and exciting read.
