Ransome devotees may be interested to know that I have published an article on Kindle called ‘Food and drink in Swallows and Amazons’. It answers vexed questions such as how much corned beef did the explorers consume during the series, and looks at the way in which Ransome used meals to structure the books. Awards are given for Best Meal and Best Breakfast. The text is supported by detailed statistical appendices. I trust that Dick would approve of them.
