I am reading Swallowdale.

On page number 245 in my copy which is the Johnathan Cape hardback 1999 reprint, a paragraph begins:

"For a long time, the explorers lay awake, listening to the rain on their tents and the rushing of the stream and the new roaring of the waterfalls."

But my Daddy has a different edition.

His copy says "reprinted August 1932". At the same page it says:

"For some time, the four explorers lay still, listening to the rain on the thin tent walls within a few inches of their faces."

Daddy says this is a Discovery in Literary Criticism.

Is he right?
