	Arthur Mee’s Children’s Encyclopedia

		Inevitably in such a complex work as Arthur Ransome: A Bibliography (Oak Knoll Press, October 2000) I have discovered errors and omissions, or they have otherwise come to my attention.
		In my notes I neglected to mention that the American edition omitted the final three paragraphs of the final chapter, from '"Well," said Nancy' to 'Isn't it a blessing to get home?' This was either a compositor's error, or a deliberate omission in order to finish the text at the bottom of a page.

		Busy towns and green pastures: thus Arthur Mee describes the ancient county of Leicestershire, in his introduction to this volume, first published sixty years ago in 1937.
		In the intervening gap of over half a century, the towns have become busier and the green pastures perhaps smaller and fewer, but one incontrovertible fact remains the same: the original publisher’s boast that “there have been many books on Leicestershire but never one like this.”
		Leicestershire, together with its smaller neighbour Rutland, (which Mee describes as “the little brother of the shires”) are examined alphabetically, village by village and town by town.
