This exciting story of the Norfolk Broads is definitely the best Mr Ransome has written

There is plenty of excitement, a little danger, a quality of thinking, planning and fun which is delightful and stimulating

There is no better companion to a Norfolk Broads holiday than Arthur Ransome's <i>Coot Club . . .</i> A gripping, down-to-earth tale

Carousel

Tom accepts an invitation for a week's cruise to teach his new friends, Dick and Dorothea how to sail. You couldn't get a better sailor than Tom but can he really stay one jump ahead of his pursuers long enough to complete the voyage?
