Coot Club

Dick and Dorothea Callum came to the Norfolk Broads during the Easter holidays, eager to learn to sail. There, they run into the Coot Club―children who protect the local birds from thoughtless tourists. Trouble begins when a coot’s nest is disturbed by a ship full of “Hullabaloos”―rude holiday boaters. The children try to convince the “Hullabaloos” to moor their noisy boat somewhere else. This fails and frantic chases, calamitous boat collisions, daring rescues (including by a dog, William the pug), and rewards ensue!
