Arthur Ransome under Sail

Arthur Ransome, author of the Swallows and Amazons series of children's books, kept detailed logs of all his voyaging, and it is from these and countless letters to friends, as well as a wealth of anecdotes, that Roger Wardale pieced together this revealing, funny, and moving portrait of the lovable and intrepid old sea-dog, Captain Flint - alias Arthur Ransome himself.
