Why is it thought that Jacky did not have much fun? His gleeful expertise on what we would call 'living rough' seems to indicate that he was a real country lad having a fine old time. Yes, his mother nagged him, but mothers do, and remember that Jacky was not on holiday in PM - the Picts were. For me, one of the joys of reading Ransome is to escape from all this balls-achingly boring stuff about class!
