Sophie Neville has received many letters from fans since the publication of her memoir “The Making of Swallows and Amazons (1974)”. 

Publishers the Lutterworth Press have shared this one from young American reader, Catharine, while others have written:

Your book is delightful!’ – David Wood OBE, playwright

‘One of the best reads I have had for many a year!’ – Christopher Clarke

‘Such a wonderful book. We loved reading it together. The perfect Christmas present for all Swallows and Amazons!’ – Miranda Gore Brown, author

You can support a good cause (Nancy Blackett!) if you buy a copy of Sophie Neville’s book from the Nancy Blackett Shop.

It makes an ideal gift for Christmas, and also at any time of year, but if you buy it now you can also take advantage of our Book Month deals too!
