I’ve read Arthur Ransome’s Swallows & Amazons books for over 50 years. It shows their quality in that not only do I still read them but I’m interested in their background. The books cover 4 years in the 1930s, set in real places - The Lake District, The Broads, Essex Backwaters and Shotley Peninsular. Part of the appeal of his books is descriptions of how to do things. Most of what I know about many subjects comes from reading Ransome.
