About the Author

"Discovering Swallows and Ransomes demonstrates the power of an author's work to influence his readers' lives and choices" - Geraint Lewis, present chairman of The Arthur Ransome Society. " ... a fascinating memoir, a very different, concise and remarkably uncliched insight into the unusual character of Arthur Ransome and his not-altogether-fictional characters; ... a succinct and accurate tale ... a true story full of humour and verve." - Jim Andrews, a past Chairman of The Arthur Ransome Society.
