Ity is rumoured that J.K. Rowling is planning wholesale massacres of her heroic characters as a conclusion to the Harry Potter series. Her reasoning being that if she kills them off, then no one else can write sequels. Given some of the sequels that have been written of other books, I think that she may have a point. I don't mind toying with ideas, but I don't think I would like to see an authorised sequel.
Seems to me Ransome missed an excellent opportunity at the end of GN?, the last picture could have shown the Sea Bear being run down by a large ship as the young Scottish lad waved goodbye.
