	Arthur Ransome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arthur Ransome (January 18, 1884 – June 3, 1967), was a British author and journalist, best known for writing the Swallows and Amazons series of children's books, which tell of school-holiday adventures of children, mostly in the Lake District and the Norfolk Broads areas of England.
		Ransome was born in Leeds, where his father lectured as a Professor of History.
		Ransome apparently based the Walker children (the "Swallows") in the book in part on the Altounyan family: he had a long-standing friendship with the mother and Collingwood grandparents of the Altounyans.

	Arthur Ransome's Bohemia in London (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Ransome explains that he was on an errand for the publisher Grant Richards, for whom he began working as an office boy, aged 17, in 1902.
		Ransome's purpose in the book is not to give an account of the precise circumstances surrounding his encounter with Shiel, but to paint a generic portrait of a writer struggling in uncongenial circumstances.
		In his concluding chapter Ransome himself prepares to bid an inevitable farewell to his hand-to-mouth existence: "Bohemia is only a stage in a man's life, except in the case of fools and a very few others." "...the door into the registrar's office is the door out of Bohemia," he writes wistfully.

	Nancy Blackett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally named Spindrift at her launch in 1931 (and then renamed Electron by her next owner), she was bought by children’s author Arthur Ransome in 1934 and renamed Nancy Blackett after a major character in his Swallows and Amazons series of children’s books.
		She is most notable for being the original for the fictional yacht Goblin in Ransome’s book We Didn’t Mean to Go to Sea which recounts a voyage across the North Sea to the Dutch port of Flushing.
		Ransome sold Nancy Blackett in 1939 but always said that she was "the best little ship".

	Swallows and Amazons, Norfolk Broads Coot Club, Arthur Ransome - The Big Six and Coot Club - cootclub.html
		Arthur made his first visit to the Broads in 1919 and having spent part of the summer in England, he went fishing in Norfolk.
		Arthur decided that the first Broads story would unfold through the eyes of Dick and Dorothea and in 1934 took a cruise to all of the places in the story and took a set of photographs.
		Arthur clearly had a particular boat in mind because I found a diagram in one of his notebooks which gives the length as 21ft and the depth as 4ft.

		While Ransome referred to this as a 'silly proposal' in his Autobiography, in his diary he simply recorded: 'Wyatt made his proposal.' Ransome's biographer writes: 'To be sure, Arthur had already, unpaid, passed on intelligence to HMG and acted as an unofficial intermediary; but it is clear that Wyatt had gone beyond the line.
		Ransome was also expelled, as a result of rumours of his unreliability spread by the US Embassy, and approached Sharp to see if he should follow her.
		Ransome stayed in Russia till March, and the material he used to write Six Weeks in Russia in 1919 was also used for a report he made to the Foreign Office.

	Russia in 1919
		While Ransome's support of the Soviet society is evident in his critical but encouraging look at this new government struggling through a civil war, what is not evident is that Arthur Ransome was a British Secret agent working with MI6!
		Ransome hurried out of Russia in the early days of the Soviet government (printed in the New Republic and then widely circulated as a pamphlet), was the first notable appeal from a non-Russian to the American people for fair play in a crisis understood then even less than now.
		Ransome's recreations are "walking, smoking, fairy stories." It is, perhaps, his intimacy with the last named that enables him to distinguish between myth and fact and that makes his activity as an observer and recorder so valuable in a day of bewilderment and betrayal.
