"Even the most pedantic Ransome addict would be hard pressed to find in any of these children's books a single word about politics. The subject simply doesn't arise. There is nothing even of the implied radicalism of that other great children's story writer, whom Arthur Ransome much admired, E Nesbit. The children's world in Ransome's books is, quite deliberately, hived off from the adult world outside. Though all the famous books were written in times of slump, war or post-war reconstruction, there is hardly a whisper of any of this in any of them."
