In the interval between PICTS and GN, Dennis Bird wrote SWALLOWS & CO, a story which Amazon published last year in a severely limited edition (so I imagine there is no point hoping you can buy a copy). This dealt with the question of just what the Swallows and Amazons did when another bunch of children decided to camp on Wild Cat Island.
The book is listed on http://www.dcta.com/AR/Lost%20Leaves%20AR%20books.rtf at $150!!!!!
