I hope that a Tarboarder or two may be interested in another recent addition to the Arthur Ransome Literary Pages comprising extracts from the Kendal and County Newsfor February 1895 describing the Great Frost. The contemporary accounts make an interesting comparison with Ransome's memories as given in the Autobiography and transmuted into fiction in Winter Holiday. Enjoy!
