18th August 2014

In 1973, Sophie Neville was cast

as Titty alongside Virginia

McKenna, Ronald Fraser and

Suzanna Hamilton in the movie

Swallows & Amazons…

Filmed in the beautiful Lake

District, this adaptation of

the legendary Arthur

Ransome tale soon became a

firm family favourite, loved

the world over.

To coincide with the

40th anniversary of

the cinematic release

and a special edition

Blu-ray…

… this endearing book tells the

story of the making of the film

through the diary Sophie kept

while on location in the lakes

and mountains of Cumbria.

The Making of Swallows &

Amazons is illustrated

throughout with

photographs taken during

filming…

… as well as many official stills.

‘Sometimes extraordinary things

do happen to ordinary people.

Little girls can find themselves

becoming film stars overnight.’

‘Sophie’s magical Swallows tales… a heart-warming

account of making the movie’ – Daily Mail
