Arthur Michell Ransome CBE (18 January – 3 June ) was an English author and journalist. He is best known for writing and illustrating the Swallows and Amazons series of children's books about the school-holiday adventures of children, mostly in the Lake District and the Norfolk bltadwin.ru books remain popular and Swallows and Amazons is the basis for a tourist industry around. Missee Lee is the tenth book in the Swallows and Amazons series, and like Peter Duck, it is a deviation from the normal progression of the series. Whereas most of the time, Ransome’s characters have real-world adventures, this story is based on their imaginings about sailing to China/5. This book, Missee Lee, is one of the two fantasy adventures (along with Peter Duck) which I now understand are meant to be stories the children made up in the winter when they couldn't be out sailing, I didn't quite get that when I was 9!/5(97).

This book, Missee Lee, is one of the two fantasy adventures (along with Peter Duck) which I now understand are meant to be stories the children made up in the winter when they couldn't be out sailing, I didn't quite get that when I was 9!. Arthur Ransome - Missee Lee. Re-reading Missee Lee after a break of perhaps 30 years, I am struck by how very different it is from the other books in Ransomes' children's novels. This is not simply because it is not a "real" story, in the sense that it is the imaginations of the Swallows and Amazons, rather than an account of their adventures. Missee Lee by Arthur Ransome. Nancy and Peggy’s Uncle Jim generally known to our young people as "Captain Flint" has taken his nieces and the Walker children off around the world on his schooner "Wild Cat". They fall afoul of Chinese pirates along the coast of mainland China. At first the pirates are inclined to kill them all for fear of trouble with the British.
