Luke, I hear you. A few months ago I went to my lawyer's house to shoot some pictures of her children playing musical instruments. The girl is 11 years old and plays the violin. Later, I noticed she was holding a book. "What's the book?" I asked.
"It's called "Swallowdale," she said. "I love it. It's by a man called Arthur Ransome. I've also got another one by him - Peter Duck." Bless the child. Now I'm looking around for SA because she hasn't read it yet. But she will. She will.
