After a career in journalism that took him to Russia, where he reported on the 1917 Revolution for the Manchester Guardian, he settled in England's Lake District with his Russian wife. There, in 1929, he wrote Swallows and Amazons, launching a series now treasured in British children's literature. He won the inaugural Carnegie Medal in 1936 for Pigeon Post, and his stories continue to inspire young sailors and adventurers today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSix more thrilling voyages await in this follow-up set to the original Swallows and Amazons adventures.
