Title: The Picts & the Martyrs

Subtitle: Swallows and Amazons Series, Book 11

Author: Arthur Ransome

Narrator: Gareth Armstrong

Format: Unabridged

Publisher's Summary:

For anyone who loves sailing and adventure, Arthur Ransome's classic Swallows and Amazons series stands alone. Originally published over a half-century ago, the twelve books are still eagerly read by children and adults alike - by all those captivated by the world of adventure and imagination. Such longevity is not only due to Ransome's unparalleled gift of storytelling, but also his championing of qualities such as independence and initiative; virtues that appeal to every generation, whether young or old. Jibbooms and bobstays!

Those two Blackett sisters are back at it again, and Nancy is right there in the thick of it. Their mother (doubtless suffering from exhaustion) has gone off sailing in the North Sea with Captain Flint on a rest cure, but she has allowed her two daughters to stay a fortnight at Beckfoot on the lakeshore with their trusty cook. She's also permitted their two old friends, Dick and Dorothea Callum, to come up for a visit. But when their redoubtable Great Aunt (aka G. A.) hears of their abandonment, she's horrified and off on the next train. Arthur Ransome was a prolific writer of children's books.

Born in Leeds in 1884, it was his father, a nature-loving history professor, who inspired his love of the outdoors and nurtured a passion for fishing. As a child he enjoyed active, outdoor holidays: sailing, camping and exploring the countryside. He used many of these holiday settings for his children's stories, notably the much-loved Swallows and Amazons, a book that sits comfortably in the category of "timeless classic". In 1936 he won the first ever Carnegie Medal for the sixth book in the Swallows & Amazons series, Pigeon Post.

What a book

This is a truly amazing book for children and it is evidently head,shoulders and body above the rest.

a classic children's story from the thirties

If you could sum up The Picts & the Martyrs in three words, what would they be?

old fashioned fun

What other book might you compare The Picts & the Martyrs to, and why?

other books in the series have some of the same characters

Have you listened to any of Gareth Armstrongs other performances? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to any others

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I know this book very well having read it as a child, and have returned to it and enjoyed it again. It is an old fashioned story about children having adventures and feels like a by gone era. Definitely not a story with contemporary issues and as such is a relaxing read!

Great narrator!

Any additional comments?

My daughter really enjoyed listening to these stores and the narrator Clara Novikova is amazing - I just love how she manages to bring each story to live with her voice intonations. We are trying to teach our young daughter Russian language and this audio book is a big help - interesting stories that captivate child's imagination and really good performance by Clara Novikova in perfect Russian.

Publisher's Summary:

Its the week before Christmas, and Eric is already bored with his vacation. His parents have to work, his friends are out of town, and the city is snowed under. Then he opens his apartment door for an exterminator, and is dragged into the adventure of his life. Anje Gabrail carries a crossbow and lives for his work. When he discovers a rat in the basement of Erics apartment building, he asks the boy to help him kill it. At first Eric agrees, after all, he doesnt have anything better to do. But as the week progresses, Eric finds himself in a fight to save not only the rat but himself as well.

Avi delivers an unusual story full of the magic of Christmas. Narrator Jeff Woodmans stirring rendition perfectly captures both Erics confusion and his growing sense of purpose as he confronts an angel in a most unlikely form.

The Christmas Rat

Great book to get a boy interested in reading. Avi has a wonderful way of taking you in and getting you involved in the story.

A mom's review

Weirdly disturbing.

Suspenseful. The best of the horror genre, without the horror.

Not very Christmas-y.

Know your child, and PRE-READ, before you give them this book. This is an odd book; a boy is hunted by the exterminator.

A couple of parenting points:

Point #1) The child in this book gets tricked into making a vow to help an exterminator kill all rats (but one in particular) -- "so help me, God." Seriously, the 11-year-old child makes this vow, at the prodding of the exterminator. (As a parent, I'm glad this book presents the possible negative consequences of swearing a vow in God's name.)

Point #2) The exterminator, Anjel Gabrial, is well written. From the beginning, you don't know whether to trust or not to trust him, and the story does not answer that question.

Point #3) Avi does one of my pet peeves -- he makes an ex-military person out to be the bad guy/weirdo/psycho death-obsessed person. "See, kid, I was in the military... Trained to kill... The works. You name it.... I was good at it, too... Didn't take me long to figure out that unless I found a job which would let me kill -- legal-like -- I'd be in trouble. So I got me a job as an exterminator...Hey, I like killing things..." (p.15)

If this were all that there was in the book, I would give it a one-star-ranking. But the book is so well-written -- suspenseful without bloodshed, and open-ended -- and the characterization of Eric (the child) is so complete, that I think it's a great book. A memorable message about not letting yourself become bored with life, that life is precious. So I *do* recommend it, as long as parents know what they are getting.

disappointed - Avi is an Incredible Author

A tale that could have served to warn children to share "secrets" with their parents, shows children they can handle dangerous situations without an adult's help. This boy is totally self reliant. He handles everything without his parent's 'help or knowledge. That might be fine except Anje is dangerous. He threatens the boy's life, shoots at him with a crossbow and gains access to the boy's locked apartment in the middle of the night.

I'm stepping off my soap box. The story should capture a child's full attention.

Great author: a wonderful book. Excellent transaction: on time, in good condition. Would do business with this vendor again.

Five Stars

My kids loved this book. Author is very engaging.

So good, but yet so bad

This book is so good and yet so bad at the same time. The narrator is awesome and the book is incredibly engaging, however the content is at times so inappropriate. It goes on and goes about killing people and how they would throw unwanted or sick children into a ravine to die. The book is 60% amazing, but I just can't let my children listen to such flippancy about murdering people. There is a way to approach those topics without being so gruesome about it. I have a 6 year and a 4 year old and we are studying ancient history, which is why I purchased it. I feel so torn because the good parts are very educational.
