I am sure that I have seen a quote from a personal letter from Evgenia, perhaps mentioned in some TARS publication, in which she refers to her husband as "Dr Ransome" (after he had been awarded an honorary D. Litt. by Leeds University).

Incidentally, the potted biography of the author on the back of the Puffin editions include AR's CBE as well as his D. Litt. and honarary M.A. from Durham University. I haven't seen that detailed information on his honours in other editions such as the modern Capes. I think Evgenia had a lot to do with the Puffin edition which I think was first published shortly after AR's death. She seems to have enjoyed all of the official approval and notice and wanted people to know about it.
