I recently acquired a copy of SD from August 1932, my previously oldest copy was from 1936. I was surprised to see a page before the book proper begins entitled

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ
"SWALLOWS AND AMAZONS"

which explains the circumstance of SA and the creation of the PD story on the wherry in Norfolk.

Does anyone know if AR wrote this, or if he insisted on its inclusion? I've not seen it in any other edition.
