Fabulous, loved it. Definitely one of my favourite Swallows and Amazons books. So many good bits - learning to skate, the Fram, building an igloo, rescuing sheep, sailing a sledge and secret codes. Softly, at first, as if it hardly meant it, the snow began to fall. Read a chunk of this at the Hanmer Springs water park in the boiling hot sunshine.
