When they hear a tale about a lost gold mine in the Lake District hills, Nancy and Peggy decide to find the mine as a surprise for their uncle. The children comb the nearby hills, while being shadowed by a mysterious figure they dub "squashy hat." Undeterred by drought, sudden brushfires, and the continuing presence of Squashy Hat, the young prospectors persevere in their quest--with surprising results (aided by Dick's knowledge of chemistry). <p/>Friendship and resourcefulness, dangers and rescues: Arthur Ransome's <b><i>Swallows and Amazons</b></i> series has stood the test of time. More than just great stories, each one celebrates independence and initiative with a colorful, large cast of characters. <b><i>Pigeon Post</b></i> (originally published in 1936) is the sixth title in the <b><i>Swallows and Amazons</b></i> series, books for children or grownups, anyone captivated by a world of adventure, exploration, and imagination.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"There is plenty of excitement, a little danger, a quality of thinking, planning and fun in connection with a gold-mine. The ingenuity of this group of children is delightful and stimulating."--<i>The Times Literary Supplement</i></p><br>
