Secret Water - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Secret Water Secret Water the eighth book in Arthur Ransome 's Swallows and Amazons series of children's books. It was published on 28 November This book is set in and around Hamford Water in Essex, close to the resort town of Walton-on-the-Naze. It brings the Swallows and Secret Water Amazons together and introduces a new group of characters, the Eels and the Mastodon. Ransome used to sail to Hamford Water, an area of tidal salt marshes and low-lying islands, in his yacht Nancy Blackett. He set the book Secret Water to offer his characters new opportunities to explore and make maps in a different landscape. The Swallows Secret Water to sail in the Goblin as featured in We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea to Hamford Water and camp with their father, but he is called away on naval business. To compensate, he maroons them with a small dinghy on an island. Before he leaves, Father gives them an outline map of the area they decide to call Secret Water, and suggests they survey and chart the area before he returns Secret Water pick them up. For the first time, their small sister Bridget accompanies them on this adventure. Titty and Bridget then find some mysterious footprints, which they think look as though they were made by a Mastodon ; when nobody else seems to have any interest, they return to their camp, where they find a totem pole of an eel. They spot somebody escaping in a dinghy, and they track the person to his lair; it turns out that the footprints had been left by a local boy named Donald, whom they nickname the "Mastodon", wearing "splatchers" mud-shoesand he left the totem pole because he mistook them for the Eels, another family who camp in the area regularly. For a surprise, Father has arranged for the Amazons to Secret Water down from the Lake District and Secret Water them with another dinghy, named the Firefly. The Secret Water then suggest that everybody becomes "blood brothers", which, after Bridget pricks herself from hunting berries, they do successfully. They take the Mastodon as their native guide, and they chart several islands. Later, the Eels arrive, and are initially hostile - to the point of kidnapping Bridget - but when they discover that the protagonists are Secret Water blood brothers of the Eels, they settle down for Secret Water friendly war, culminating with feast of the Sacred Eel, complete with "human sacrifice". The "sacrifice" is Bridget, who very nearly does not arrive at her party, as a result of being trapped in the middle of a ford by a rising tide with Titty and Roger. The danger is genuine, since high tide level would have been well above their heads. Just before they have to swim for the shore, they Secret Water rescued by the Mastodon. It seems that due to the distractions of war and being cut off by the tides, the chart will not be completed. John is very disappointed about this, especially since the Swallows and Amazons have to leave the morning after the feast. However, Secret Water in the morning, two separate groups Secret Water children - Titty and Roger in their dinghy the Wizardand the Amazons in Firefly - complete it.

  • The Boats of Swallows and Amazons
    The Boats of Swallows and Amazons Amazon on Coniston Contents Introduction The Swallow Rowing the Swallow Rigging the Swallow A letter from Roger Fothergill, an owner of the original Swallow Unknown Details The Amazon Sailing Performance Assesements Design Recommendations for new Swallows The Nancy Blackett and the Goblin The Best Boat? Design Recommendations for new Swallows Introduction What exactly were the Swallow and the Amazon like, those famous sailboats of Arthur Ransome's books Swallows and Amazons and Swallowdale? Many readers would love to recreate the adventures of the Walker and Blackett children for themselves, or for their own children, and they want to learn more about the boats. The boats of these special stories were real boats, just as many of the locations in the stories are real places. This essay describes what we know of the Swallow and the Amazon. In the summer of 1928, Ernest Altounyan, a friend of Arthur Ransome, came to Coniston Water with his family and soon thereafter bought two boats for his children. The children were Taqui (age eleven), Susan (age nine), Titty (age eight), Roger (age six), and Bridgit (nearly three). The children became the models for characters in Arthur Ransome's books, and the boats became the Swallow and Amazon. Susan and Roger crewed the Swallow, while Taqui and Titty crewed the Mavis, which was the model for the Amazon. The Mavis (Amazon), may be seen today, in good order, at the Windermere Steamboat Museum near Lake Windermere. When the Altounyans later moved to Syria, they gave the Swallow to Arthur Ransome, who lived at Low Ludderburn near Lake Windermere.

  • The Consensus View on Camping and Tramping Fiction Is That It First
    Camping and Tramping, Swallows and Amazons: Interwar Children’s Fiction and the Search for England Hazel Sheeky A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Newcastle University May 2012 Abstract For many in Britain, the interwar period was a time of significant social, political and cultural anxiety. In the aftermath of the First World War, with British imperial power apparently waning, and with the politics of class becoming increasingly pressing, many came to perceive that traditional notions of British, and particularly English, identity were under challenge. The interwar years saw many cultural responses to the concerns these perceived challenges raised, as seen in H. V. Morton’s In Search of England (1927) and J. B. Priestley’s English Journey (1934). The sense of socio-cultural crisis was also registered in children’s literature. This thesis will examine one significant and under-researched aspect of the responses to the cultural anxieties of the inter-war years: the ‘camping and tramping’ novel. The term ‘camping and tramping’ refers to a sub-genre of children’s adventure stories that emerged in the 1930s. These novels focused on the holiday leisure activities – generally sailing, camping and hiking - of largely middle-class children in the British (and most often English) countryside. Little known beyond Arthur Ransome’s ‘Swallows and Amazons’ novels (1930-1947), this thesis undertakes a full survey of camping and tramping fiction, developing for the first time a taxonomy of this sub-genre (chapter one).

  • Arthur Ransome and the Dialect of Norfolk
    The Buckingham Journal of Language and Linguistics 2015 Volume 8 pp 79-98 ARTHUR RANSOME AND THE DIALECT OF NORFOLK Graeme Davis University of Buckingham [email protected] ABSTRACT Arthur Ransome provides information about the dialect of the English county of Norfolk as it was actually spoken in the 1930s. Two of his novels (Coot Club and The Big Six) are set on the Norfolk Broads. In these he offers some Norfolk vocabulary within the reported speech of some of his characters, along with some direct reflection on the dialect. However his masterpiece of Norfolk dialect is within Coots in the North (his unfinished novel, not published during his lifetime) where he presents what is in effect an extended Norfolk dialogue of over two-hundred lines. Ransome was an astute observer of language, and records the Norfolk dialogue with apparent accuracy and without contrivance. 1. INTRODUCTION Norfolk dialect is a Southern English dialect once commonplace throughout the county of Norfolk and of which fragments survive in use today. There is considerable overlap with the dialect of neighbouring Suffolk, and several nineteenth century accounts described the two together as East Anglia dialect. Twentieth century writers made the distinction between Norfolk and Suffolk. Arthur Ransome, a resident of Suffolk, is clear that his Coots are speaking the dialect of Norfolk. Norfolk dialect has a history as long as the English settlement of the British Isles, though with few texts to preserve it. Horatio Nelson tells us “I am a Norfolk man, and glory in being so”, and in the rare occasions when his words are recorded verbatim it is possible that we glimpse the Norfolk dialect of the second half of the eighteenth century.

  • Diana Wynne Jones Saying That Her Novels ‘Provide a Space Where Children Can
    University of Wollongong Research Online Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts 2009 "Mum’s a silly fusspot”: the queering of family in Diana Wynne Ika Willis University of Bristol, [email protected] Publication Details I.

Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] "Mum’s a silly fusspot”: the queering of family in Diana Wynne Abstract In Four British Fantasists, Butler cites Diana Wynne Jones saying that her novels ‘provide a space where children can... walk round their problems and think “Mum’s a silly fusspot and I don’t need to be quite so enslaved by her notions”‘ (267). That is, as I will argue in this paper, Jones’ work aims to provide readers with the emotional, narrative and intellectual resources to achieve a critical distance from their families of origin. I will provide a brief survey of the treatment of family in Jones’ children’s books, with particular reference to Charmed Life, The Lives of Christopher Chant, The grO e Downstairs, Cart and Cwidder, Drowned Ammet, The omeH ward Bounders and Hexwood, and then narrow my focus to two of Jones’ classic 4 treatments of family: Eight Days of Luke and Archer’s Goon. I will read these books in terms of the ways in which their child protagonists reposition themselves in relation to family in the course of their narratives.

  • “The Desire to Build a House,” Wrote Arthur Ransome in 1923, “Is the Tired Wish of a Man Content Thence Forward with a Single Anchorage
    PETER DUCK - OTHER PEOPLE'S DREAMS An essay written for the Aldeburgh Festival Programme June 2000 By Julia Jones “The desire to build a house,” wrote Arthur Ransome in 1923, “is the tired wish of a man content thence forward with a single anchorage. The desire to build a boat is the desire of youth, unwilling yet to accept the idea of a single resting place.” Ransome was nearing 40 when he wrote these words. It would be seven more years until the publication of Swallows and Amazons finally brought him the literary recognition for which he had been working since the publication of his first volume when he was 20 years old. Certainly there had been little resembling secure anchorage for him in the ten years preceding 1923. In 1913 he left London in the wake of Lord Alfred Douglas’s libel action against him after the publication of his book on Oscar Wilde. His defence, conducted flamboyantly by F.E.Smith, was successful but his then marriage was not. One impromptu visit to Russia was followed by a second and a third until he was established there as the Daily News Russian Correspondent, living mainly in Petrograd and reporting the Bolshevik Revolution, sympathetically, in 1917. Towards the end of that year he fell in love with Trotsky’s secretary, Evgenia Shelepina. Writing to his mother he described her and her sister as “huge young women, Bolsheviks, tall as Grenadiers, who prefer pistols to powder puffs and swords to parasols.” In 1918 he had to flee from Moscow to Stockholm to escape internment as an alien when the Allied forces landed at Archangel.
