A wonderful adaptation of Arthur Ransome's childhood classic and a nostalgic view into the freedom of a 1920s childhood. Beautifully acted by a young cast who perform all the sailing themselves! This is a must watch for any Ransome fans as well as those who enjoy a Blyton-style adventure set in the Lakes. There is also a book available 'The Making of Swallows and Amazons' detailing the secrets and methods of filming the movie by 'Titty' herself, Sophie Neville which is definitely worth a read if you enjoyed the film.
