Very interesting - - - I think if we were actually living in Mr. Ransome's time it would not be as pleasant as the books make it out to be. He does hint at suspicions, distrust among class, race and cultures; but he usually brings it to a positive conclusion where the misunderstandings are resolved.
We have progressed far as a world population, yet have a long way to go to eliminate distrust, suspicions and fear of other ethnicities and cultures. We have progressed tremendeously in technology for the better, and still have an uphill road to follow.
