When I was growing up, my parents read me 'Swallows & Amazons' by Arthur Ransome. That first book, and the series of adventure stories for children Ransome followed it up with, still to this day remain for me some of the most magical and endearing tales of my youth.
You can imagine then, my excitement at discovering a Ransome story here in the Mariner's Library that allows me as an adult and a sailor to connect with Ransome once again and discover that he also was a sailor. His stories perhaps underpin my love of the ocean, developed at a young age- it's wonderful at 45 years old to discover that he really did know his tack from his gybe, and had already done his hours at the tiller, 60 years before I heard his stories.
I have really enjoyed reading this story and I hope in turn you get pleasure from listening. If you find that you like this authors style I would point you towards 'Swallows & Amazons' and the Arthur Ransome society in the UK https://arthur-ransome.org/
