Swallows and Amazons - the series

A an adult I am reading all the Swallows and Amazon series for the first time.  My wife received a copy of each for Christmas each year as they were first published and I had never been introduced to them.
The characters are each is very well developed and they behave so naturally.  As the series proceeds the children develop and there are still things which they are learning.

I have several still to read.

this was a wonderful series, I strongly encourage you to purchase all 5 books.  They tell the stories of all the characters you will be introduced to in the first book.  I felt like the descriptions of the time/era were well done and the stories flowed.  The conversations were easy to determine who was speaking at the time.  The characters were well developed and you were drawn to the next book of the series just as soon as the first book ended.
I am not going to provide the spoilers you usually read in these reviews.  Buy them and enjoy, they are excellent reading at a very good price

Excellent 4-part series. We hope that Julian Fellowes continues to produce equally excellent series such as this one in the future.

I really enjoy this series. I've seen it before and am very glad that Amazon had it on Prime. Another favorite series of mine from that time series is Merlin and I wish that Amazon had that on Prime. These two series remind me that there are good people in the world, or at least there were.

The Outlander series is excellent and holds your interest over the expanse of several generations.  Cant wait for the printing of the next book in the series.

Outstanding series by Gale Ontko  -- after reading the entire series several years ago  I purchased the entire series for a charitable  organization's  library( Whisper-n-Thunder) that provides winter heating assistance  for many of the impoverished Native Americans on our  US reservations.  These have become collectors items since very difficult to find even in libraries.

I got this because it was free from Amazon. Then they offered the complete series at a minimal cost so I ended up reviewing the entire series earlier. Please see my review of that.

The Outlander series is the best series of books I have ever read! Love the books and love the Starz movies they are making from the books. I have both the DVDs that have been released so far. Great entertainment!

This series was recommended by  friend and colleague in science. I quickly found that the books of this series are very difficult to put down. I'm sure that you will enjoy this series as much as I did.

I have truly enjoyed this series.  It is so well done.  The content is exceptional, the characters well developed, the setting and photography are picturesque.  It is suitable  for young girls, my niece is watching it.  It is too bad schools do not utilize it for historical and literature purposes.  There are words in it that we don't hear often that could be introduced to young people.  I can't say enough about it.  EXCELLENT!

The series: 5 star, it's great. My only disappointment is that Amazon says: Closed-captioned. Well... you can forget about it. There is nothing like that.
  Sincerely, K

The Ashes series is one of the best book series I've ever read. They really need to make a series of movies from these books. Would love to see them.
