So would I. I assume that the framing device was removed on the grounds that the story is a latter-day "Treasure Island", and should be seen as such, but in that case the presence of established characters from the "realistic" novels upsets the balance. It puzzled me no end, as a boy.

Incidentally, "Their Own Story" has the Swallows and Amazons on the Broads, but the canonical texts keep them far away from it and give us fresh characters. AR must have made a conscious decision to keep the S&A's out of it when planning "Coot Club" (which is a jolly good book, btw..)
