"He makes a tale of adventure a handbook to adventure." -"Observer"

- ""Winter Holiday" is my favourite Arthur Ransome, the one into which I want to walk even now -- if only it would just snow. Its depiction of the Lake District in winter is totally compelling. You can teach yourself to skate from Ransome's descriptions of the first tentative pushes across the ice-bound tarn." --"Guardian"

Follows the adventures of two groups of children who spend a winter holiday by a great lake next to the mountains.
