Arthur Ransome’s Missee Lee Reissued as E-book
Posted: July 5th, 2014 | 1 Comment »I’ve blogged about Arthur Ransome’s time in China in the 1920s before (here). For those who haven’t read his one China book, Missee Lee, where the Swallows and Amazons find themselves in the South China Seas it’s now out in e-book form. The Swallows and Amazons finally meet a real pirate – the tiny, pistol-carrying Missee Lee, who has rescued them after their shipwreck off the coast of China. The only trouble is she wants to keep them… for ever.
What happy news! I have loved the Swallows and Amazons since I was a boy and my mother read them to me at bed time. I hope that children these days will at least now be able to read them on their phones!!!
