The third book in the timeless series. The Swallows and Amazons are sailing with Nancy and Peggy’s Uncle Jim (better known as Captain Flint) when their hired deckhand tells them a tale of his younger days – a tale to set pulses racing and hopes shooting sky-high. Soon their boat is on its way to a Caribbean treasure hunt and they find themselves up against shark, storm, earthquake – and the vilest pirate who ever eavesdropped at a porthole.

“And he wished he could go to sea once more and make another voyage before it was too late.”

Arthur Ransome “Peter Duck: A Treasure Hunt in the Caribbees”. Originally published in 1932. This edition is published by Red Fox in 2013. Donated to the library by Christopher Boddington in France ❤️
