PIGEON POST

In Pigeon Post the Swallows, Amazons and the Ds establish a ?Mining Company? on High Topps, in the Lake District, seeking gold and adventure. They use homing pigeons to send messages, encounter mines, rival prospectors and the elements. The plot combines outdoor thrills with inventive child-led enterprise. Ransome?s vivid depiction of nature, childhood freedom and self-reliance stayed fresh across decades. Though republished in various formats, this edition remains a key paperback version.
