James Turner, usually referred to as Uncle Jim or "Captain Flint" is a fictional character in the Swallows and Amazons series of books by Arthur Ransome. He was the brother of Mrs Blackett and therefore uncle to Nancy and Peggy Blackett, by whom he was considered "unfriendly" at the beginning of the book Swallows and Amazons. He was given his nickname after Captain Flint of Treasure Island by the Walker family or "Swallows". After differences are resolved he becomes the closest adult ally to the Swallows and the Amazons and joins them in many adventures.
