Do I want to be kept informed? Yes please… 🙂

I guess the French version doesn’t even have English subtitles to it…? My French isn’t appalling, but not up to watching an anime series without some form of help…

You can get it on dvd? Where, when, how…?!!!

(or are we talking the French version on dvd? Can you get it in English as well?)

No, this was a looooooooooong time ago (of course). Whether I still have my Puffin Club membership book and, indeed, my gold puffin badge, is anyone’s guess. I didn’t really take many childhood things from my Dad’s house when he moved into his sheltered flat.

Cool! Do you remember which one? I looked them up on the internet last week, and it seems that only one of them has gone on to persue a career in films and that was on the directing side of things.

I can’t remember the details of it, but in Peter Duck the Swallows and the Amazons decamp from the Lakes to Lowestoft with Captain Flint, and supposably sale out from there for an adventure on the high seas and treasure islands and the like. It turns out that it’s actually a story they are telling on board Captain Flint’s boat in harbour – hence the *fictitious adventure* that they have in this book.

Any clearer?

ps. Swallowdale which is the second book in the series is another of my favourites… 🙂

Swallows and Amazons was one of these books that sat round the house for years when I was little, then I read it and quite liked it, so I got one of the later ones out of the library (Peter Duck probably) and didn’t really understand what was going on.
