Hi. My mother had a favourite book as a child in the 1950s UK but cannot remember there title. She says it was a lot like Swallows & Amazons but set on the Norfolk Broads. The title contained the word "Moon". Fairly sure it is NOT an Arthur Ransome, just a lot like him.

I would love to find out the title and if possible track down a copy for her. Thank you!

"The Norfolk Broads" obviously. Not three of them.

The Wind on the Moon?

Was it definitely the Norfolk Broads? Or could Monica Edwards' Romney Marsh series be a possibility?

Early books in the series were very horse-focused, but the later ones got more general.

Some of Ransome's official sequels to Swallows & Amazons were set on the Norfolk Broads. Specifically Coot Club and its sequel The Big Six.

When I read what you looking for I instantly thought of Moonfleet . It's not the one you're looking for but I remember reading it around about the same age that I was reading the Swallows and Amazons series and wonder if your mum may have misremembered and muddled the book names?

I also think that Coot Club may be the one you are searching for.

(Apologies for the appalling grammar - I really should get some sleep!)

Thanks all. I have run Coot Club and he Big Six past her and she is adamant it wasn't either of them. I will ask her about Romney Marsh/Wind on the Moon
