Answer:

There are no Swallows and Amazons in Lord of the Flies. "Swallows and Amazons" is the title of a book by the author Arthur Ransome. "Lord of the Flies" is a completely different book written by William Golding, they have nothing at all in common with each other. Early in the book when Ralph tells the assembly that they are on an island, a good island, some of the boys call out, "Like Treasure Island, Swallows and Amazons and The Coral Island."
