I agree that Peggy was the least vivid and developed characters of the Swallows and Amazons but she was still very much a real person. Not everyone can be a Nancy type of person - too many captains would not make any broth and not enough cooks would spoil it. Sometimes the less vivid children become the quiet achievers as adults - suddenly you see them on the TV and think - is that the boy/girl I knew at school that everyone called "Mouse"!
