Missee Lee
Missee Lee is the tenth book of Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series of children's books, set in 1930s China. The Swallows and Amazons are on a round-the-world trip with Captain Flint aboard the schooner "Wild Cat". After the "Wild Cat" sinks, they escape in the boats "Swallow" and "Amazon", but are separated in a storm. Both dinghies eventually end up in the lair of the Three Island pirates—Chang, Woo and Lee—where they are held prisoner by the unusual Missee Lee, the leader of the Three Island pirates.

The book, published in 1941, is considered one of the metafictional books in the series, along with "Peter Duck" and perhaps "Great Northern?"
