Signalling from Mars by Arthur Ransome
Ransome, in large part, lived through his correspondence. He wrote letters as we make phone calls. Brogan has produced a reader-friendly selection which begins with Ransome in St Petersburg in 1914, then charts his stormy marriages, love of yachts and the writing of his children's books.
Ransome, Arthur: - Arthur Michell Ransome (1884 - 1967) was an English author and journalist. He is best known for writing the Swallows and Amazons series of children's books about the school-holiday adventures of children, mostly in the Lake District and the Norfolk Broads. Many of the books involve sailing; fishing and camping are other common subjects. The books remain popular and Swallows and Amazons is the basis for a tourist industry around Windermere and Coniston Water, the two lakes Ransome adapted as his fictional North Country lake. He also wrote about the literary life of London and about Russia before, during and after the revolutions of 1917.
