Not only an essential companion to the Ransome books but a magical transposition of story into reality. Footsteps
Kurzbeschreibung
Following up clues found amongst the contents of Ransome's old trunk which was bequeathed to Leeds University, Christina Hardyment set out to settle once and for all the questions that have tantalised generations of readers of the Swallows and Amazons books. Are the people real? Are the places true? Following in their footsteps, sailing in their wake, she resolves nearly all of the big questions. She has talked to the Swallows, untangled the mysteries, determined and identified the myriad influences, incidents and locations which Ransome incorporated into his narratives. Now fully revised to account for a further twenty years of research, and newly illustrated with many extra drawings and previously unpublished photographs, this book is not only an essential companion to the Ransome books but a magical transposition of story into reality which will enchant and bewitch Ransome's millions of readers of all ages.

The story behind my favourite childhood books
25. September 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Like many English boys (and girls... and not just English, come to think of it) growing up in the 1940s and 1950s, my favourite books were Arthur Ransome's wonderful stories about children messing about in boats in the Lake District, Norfolk Broads, and elsewhere. I read them all at least five times, from "Swallows & Amazon" to "Great Northern". I bought a paperback set for my children, and I think my son really got into them too. Now there's a new book (technically a new expanded edition) that gives the complete back-story: of Arthur Ransome, his life, and his boats; of the family whose children inspired the original stories; of the relationship between the geography of the books and the real world; and of visiting the places about which he wrote so many years ago. Nicely written, well illustrated with historic and contemporary photographs, and utterly fascinating.
Not surprisingly, I'm planning to re-read the stories all over again, with fresh eyes.

Excellent overview and history of Ransome's Swallows & Amazons series
26. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Hardyment does a wonderful job of dealing with the history and background of Ransome's Swallows & Amazons stories. She gently removes some of the veil from the family of children that Ransome used to partially create his characters, but leaves dedicated readers with most of their illusions still intact.
She also spent quite a bit of time traveling around the Lake Country trying to pin down the various locations from the stories, some which were easy and others still a mystery (like Swallowdale). This book will be a welcome addition to any Ransome fan's library.

Delightful guide to a great story-teller's life
27. April 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Arthur Ransome was a magical story-teller about the sunny, enchanted days of childhood. This book does a great job in bringing the real originals of the scenes and characters of his immortal books to life. No Ransomite can afford to miss it. Also shines many lights into arcane corners of the story-teller's craft. Some rare illustrations, including some from foreign editions.
