I don't read books as often as I'd like to these days, I've just gotten out of the habit I guess. I still love books, as opposed to reading from a tablet, and I've kept many old favourites (most aren't on this list) just in case I want to revisit them.
I first read Swallows and Amazons when I was at the old Springhill school in the early 60s. The class was marched up into the library which was in a dusty old tower as I recall. We would sit on the bare floorboards and read to our heart's content.

Clearly, Turtle is living in her shell, as shown by her use of the olde English phrase/ word 'gotten', with which Shakespeare would be familiar - or maybe she is imitating the Bard after reading his works.
