I'd always thought of PD a a retelling of Swallows and Amazons (which itself owes something to Treasure Island) - their own story which in the original draft they spin in the following winter – on a larger canvas. The relationship between fiction and 'reality' ( or double-fiction and single-fiction) gets quite complex.
