Arthur Ransome's classic series!

”Peter Duck was sitting on a bollard...smoking his pipe in the midday sunshine and looking down at a little, green, two-masted schooner that was tied up there while making ready for sea...He was an old sailor with a fringe of white beard round a face that was as brown and wrinkled as a walnut. He had sailed in the clipper ships racing home with tea from China.”—Arthur Ransome

Peter Duck is the third entry in English author Arthur Ransome's classic children's series about a group of children who go on outdoor adventures during school holidays.
