To celebrate the start of the Nancy Blackett Trust’s Book Month, you should enter our competition to win a signed copy of the second edition of “The Making of Swallows and Amazons (1974)” by Sophie Neville.

It’s the story of her (often hilarious) behind-the-scenes memories of the classic 1974 film in which she appeared as a child actor.

‘“The Making of Swallows and Amazons (1974)” is an uplifting memoir that tells of how a schoolgirl’s life was transformed by unexpectedly starring in a major film adaptation of the world-famous classic tale by Arthur Ransome. It is a treat…’ – Anne Gaelan
