Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) wrote Old Peter's Russian Tales while he was in Russia during the First World War, prior to becoming a war correspondent for The Manchester Guardian. There are 22 stories in all and are told by Old Peter at the behest of his grandchildren, Ivan and Maroosia, in a cozy log cabin in the middle of the forest. These are delightful re-tellings in Ransome's own words of Russian folk tales, and include stories such as "The Little Snow Girl", "Baba Yaga", "Frost", and "Salt".

PUBLISHERS NOTE On August 27, 1914, while in London, I jotted down a thought in my memorandum book Met Arthur Ransome at_____s; we discussed a potential book exploring the Russians relationship to the war through the lens of their psychological and folkloric backgrounds. Although that book never materialized, the ideas sparked during that conversation resonate throughout Ransomes insights on Russian matters. A versatile figure, Ransome is not only a respected biographer of Poe and Wilde but also a translator and commentator on Remy de Gourmont, and a devoted folklorist committed to uncovering ...

Arthur Ransome brilliantly wrote about Oscar Wilde in A Critical Study, published in 1912, and then went on to write the popular and better known children's series, Swallows and Amazons, in 1930. Ransome considers Oscar Wilde a visionary of whom every classical scholar must know. Oscar Wilde changed the culture of his own day and, by doing so, changed ours. Wilde tried various literary activities, poetry, drama, dialogues and essays, a novel, and even wrote about interior decoration. To him, art was supreme, and he pursued that ideal in every expression that he encountered.

In 1913, Arthur Ransome traveled to Russia to explore Russian folklore. The result of his studies was the publication of retellings (rather than translations) of a number of stories, including The Soldier and Death, which first appeared in 1920.

Třetí kniha ze série o Vlaštovkách a Amazonkách se odehrává na moři, kam děti vypluly s Petrem Kachnou hledat poklad. Odolají pronásledujícím pirátům? "Petr Kachna" je třetí díl románového cyklu o prázdninových dobrodružstvích dvou dětských sourozeneckých skupin, které si říkají Vlaštovky a Amazonky. Jedna z Vlaštovek Titty Walkerová si během minulých prázdnin stvořila ve své fantazii vysloužilého námořníka Petra Kachnu, který v této knize ožívá. A proč ne? Společně vyplouvají se strýčkem Jimem alias kapitánem Flintem ve škuneru Divoká kočka na moře, protože Petr Kachna ví, kde je uložen poklad.

K jezeru na anglickém venkově přijíždí opět po roce strávit báječné letní prázdniny čtveřice dětí - Vlaštovky. Společnost jim mají dělat dvě místní dívky - Amazonky. Ze začátku se nic nedaří podle plánu. Amazonky nemohou tábořit na ostrově Divokých koček, protože na návštěvu přijela prateta a tak místo dobrodružných pirátských výprav musí být nastrojené ve svátečních šatech. A aby toho nebylo málo, Vlaštovky nešťastně ztroskotají a přijdou tak o svou loď. Žádná nesnáz ale nemůže porazit děti s fantazií a odhodláním.
