Jill,
It is wonderful to meet a mutual friend of John, Susan, Titty, Roger, Nancy, and Peggy, and Captain Flint! Arthur Ransome’s novels are among my favorites in all of children’s literature. Thanks to Molly for the link to your blog, and thanks to you for sharing your joy in reading with your children. My husband and I find reading with our kids one of the most pleasurable aspects of parenting, and I’m looking forward to how your blog may enrich our reading times even more.
Any friend of Titty’s is a friend of mine
Swallows and Amazons forever!!
