Chapter I
The Peak In Darien
“Or like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes,
He stared at the Pacific—and all his men
Looked at each other with a wild surmise—
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.”
Roger, aged seven, and no longer the youngest of the family, ran in wide zigzags, to and fro, across the steep field that sloped up from the lake to Holly Howe, the farm where they were staying for part of the summer holidays.

Description
Arthur Ransome's beloved 1930 classic of childhood adventure: the four Walker children, sailing their dinghy Swallow, camp on an island in England's Lake District and find themselves in a spirited rivalry — and eventual alliance — with the Blackett sisters' pirate crew, the Amazons. The first and best-loved of Ransome's twelve Swallows and Amazons novels.
