The eleventh book in the beloved Swallows and Amazons series returns readers to England’s Lake District for another summer of secret plans and childhood adventure. When the formidable Great Aunt arrives unexpectedly, Dick and Dorothea must hide away in an old woodland hut while their friends, the Blackett sisters, work to keep their presence a secret. Filled with clever schemes, quiet courage, and the delights of outdoor living, The Picts and the Martyrs is a charming celebration of friendship, independence, and resourcefulness.
