Swallows and Amazons Forever Eh!
We've three generations of Cossar's who were all raised on AR's books.
I got my pristine hard cover set from my local library. I had been signing them out one at a time beacause they were such a pleasure to hold. Otherwise we've a set of Red Fox paperbacks. Of the hard cover set only 5 had ever been signed out and most recently 7 years earlier. I offered to buy them and after another 9 months of trying to spark interest in them, I was able to give the whole set a well loved home. Now we loan out (carefully} paperback copies to select persons that we hope to capture into the Canadian TARS net.
