When he returned to England with Trotsky's secretary as his wife, he settled in Lakeland and began his four-year weekly column Rod and Line for the Guardian, stopping only to write the twelve Swallows and Amazons books for children which made him famous. Although he published a few of these and other fishing essays in two books, Rod and Line and Mainly about Fishing, most of his writing and broadcasting on the subject - among the best things he did - have never appeared in book form. Michael Hordern celebrated a few of these revealing and often very funny writings for a new audience when he played Ransome in a 1970s TV series based on Rod and Line, and Ransome is still today considered an aficionado of the quiet sport. Jeremy Swift's book not only tells for the first time of Ransome's fishing adventures - in exotic places with men of history or by small English streams with unknown, eccentric fellow countrymen - it rescues many of Ransome's best fishing articles from the undeserved oblivion of the archive shelf. His book is a sheer joy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49512500396305,"sku":"GOR001950552","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49550223245585,"sku":"GOR001582875","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49929902915857,"sku":"GOR005051104","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/022404236X.jpg?v=1751259244"},{"product_id":"arthur-ransome-on-fishing-book-jeremy-swift-9780224035552","title":"Arthur Ransome on Fishing","description":"Arthur Ransome began to fish as a boy in the Lake District, but the pursuit became almost an obsession when he lived in Russia during World War I and reported the Revolution and its aftermath for the \"Daily News\" and the \"Manchester Guardian\".

It frees you to get on with other tasks while the student is taking the test.   ERT4-i provides instant scoring and diagnostic feedback, plus an unobtrusive (optional) 'extra time' assessment. The clear on-screen presentation, coupled with intuitive and seamless navigation through the test, engages the student and makes the test accessible for slower readers.   Like the pencil-and-paper test, ERT4-i profiles five different aspects of a student's literacy - skimming, vocabulary, reading for facts, points of view and comprehension - as well as giving a reliable overall standardised score and reading age, plus a student report. Additionally, it compares the student's performance over both the standard 45-minute test time and an extended 25% extra time where applicable, yielding evidence which might justify extra time in national examinations or a need for the support of a reader.   This is a stand-alone, single-user program, and comes with a two-year licence. It is not designed to run over a network (a network version is available separately). Installation instructions are given on the inside liner. A comprehensive User's Manual (supplied as a pdf file on the CD-ROM) gives full information on how to use and get the most out of the system.
