About the book
The Swallows are abandoned in one of the most interesting parts of England: the east coast north of the mouth of the Thames and south of the Norfolk Broads. Their assignment is to map the tidal flats. Aided by the Amazons and the Tribe of the Eels, they succeed just in time, before being rescued.
