Swallows and Amazons - DVD [U]

Jump into the golden age of childhood adventure with this beautifully crafted 2016 adaptation of Arthur Ransome's beloved classic.

When the Walker children are given permission to sail to a remote island and camp alone for the summer, their imagination runs wild — and so does the story. Director Claude Whatham's 1974 original is a British institution, but this 2016 remake brings fresh energy and stunning Lake District scenery to a tale that has enchanted generations. Virginia McKenna lends warmth and gravitas to the cast, and the film remains a perfect family watch from start to finish.

Based on the first of Ransome's twelve Swallows and Amazons novels, this is outdoor adventure storytelling at its most wholesome.
