More Information
Arthur Ransome, 1884 to 1967, is best remembered for his Swallows
and Amazons series. They all involve adventures and sailing and are set largely
in the Lake District, Cumbria. These books are now extremely collectable. First
editions in original dust jackets especially sought after. They are by far the
most expensive of the authors work, the early titles especially so. That said,
and unusually, none of the books listed in this bibliography would generally be
described as cheap, all are of collectable value. In all cases, the English
editions precede their American counterparts and are of greater value and
desirability among collectors. Collectors should check dust jackets for reviews
and the chronology of other titles to ensure the jacket is first issue status.
