I wrote this article as an introduction to the Swallows and Amazons series for new-comers and wondered if anybody had any comments?
It seems slightly odd to me to mention the names of the D's, as characters introduced in the fourth book, without having said anything about who the characters are in the first three.
This could be fixed by adding something along the following lines near the beginning:
"The Swallows of the title are the four Walker children, who borrow the sailing dinghy Swallow for exploration and camping in the Lake District, and the appropriately named Amazons are the piratical Blackett sisters with whom they have wars and alliances."
