Having read the first of Ransome's books in 1958, then learning that the places actually existed, it took me most of 50 years to get to the source.
Business travel took me to England a few years ago, so I went to the Lake District, as I'd wished to do for decades. I made it to Coniston, had a pint (or so) at the Black Bull & found the National Park bookstore & this book. It's the best of the lot sold there. I ended up with a couple of others, but this is clearly the best for people who wish to find the places described in the books.

I went to Coniston, England to see the area where Arthur Ransome wrote many of the Swallows and Amazon books. I found this book at the National Park store and used it to locate almost all of the locations from the books! Wildcat Island took me right back to my youth reading these books and dreaming of what it was like. Must have if you plan to visit.

This is a wonderful book for all ages. I love to read it, savouring each part until, sadly, I finish the book. 'In Search of Swallows and Amazons'is a must-have and truly a timeless classic for everyone.
