I'm reading Lone Pine London right now and enjoying it very much, but MS does more telling us whereas AR shows us. I don't think he tells us anything, even when we learn things like trout tickling or, indeed, sailing. Unfortunately, I'm not a sailor but I have always thought the sailing S&As could teach me the basics - if that's what I wanted from them. In not patronizing his child readers, AR naturally encourages their interest, a difficult trick to master for anyone, let alone a "children's" author.
