Many years ago, I used a search engine to look for "Arthur Ransome" on the World Wide Web.
0 replies. "Oh well, better make one then" I said to myself.
Now Yahoo or Lycos will scroll page after page of Ransome links.
I am happy to say, mine was the first. Gradually other people began to help, now there is quite a production team working on the pages. Now I am off to the Arctic where they don't have any computers [I am working as a roadie at the Winter Olympic games in Nagano, Japan]. The web pages at www.arthur-ransome.org/ar will be maintained by the rest of the team. [Good luck, and thanks for all your work, it would never have happened without you!]
The email address will still be tarsnet@arthur-ransome.org for any enquiries about the website, but please NOT for personal email to me, which should now go to peter@physics.otago.ac.nz. (Yes, I used to use, with pride, that wonderful address for most of my personal mail; who wouldn't!)
