The Arthur Ransome Books I Have

The Arthur Ransome Books
These are the Ransome Books I have. My father had a bookstore send to Canada for some of these many years ago, in the 1950s. Secret Water was discarded by the Tacoma Public Library. I have read others from the library. The other shelves of books look so rich and thick.  Have enjoyed the Facebook Arthur Ransome Group.

_We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea_ was my first Ransome book, which I read as a child in New Zealand. My parents had moved us there when I was eight, and I was much at sea myself in the new culture. It's a pleasure to see your collection and to remember these stories. I remember, too, coming to the end of the local library's holdings and deliberately putting aside one of the books, delaying the time when there wouldn't be anymore first reads
