I don't like the "made up" books, PD, ML and GN.
I don't think there is a consensus that GN is 'made up'.
Christina Hardiment seems to think so and there is an apparent
inconsistency beween the GN nesting period and school holidays.
On the other hand, the S and A's are now sufficiently grown
up and experienced sailors for the grown ups to permit CF
to take them on the schooner journey that is first signposted
at the end of SA. Swallow and Amazon are missing. Their
presence in PD and ML is a give-away that these two are stories
within stories.
