This article is about the book. See also:

Swallows and Amazons for Ever! is a book combining Coot Club and The Big Six. The TV series Swallows and Amazons Forever! prompted Arthur Ransome's publishers to issue a book with the same title as a paperback by Puffin in 1983 titled Swallows and Amazons Forever! containing abridged editions of Coot Club and the Big Six: Two Books in One! then (with the word forever split) by Red Fox in 1993: Swallows and Amazons for Ever! containing abridged editions of Coot Club and the Big Six.

The book had all the chapters of Coot Club (omitting the Postscript); the next chapter from The Big Six (Chapter 30: "Out of the Dentist’s Window") was headed: a few months later.

The second section omitted seven chapters from The Big Six, but finished with "What Happened to the Fish". The omitted chapters were:

  • 11 "We Got to Emigrate"
  • 16 Spreading the Net
  • 17 News From the Outposts
  • 21 Morning Visitors
  • 22 Another Coat of Paint
  • 24 Things Look Black
  • 31 In the Dark Room
