An interesting hypothesis. There does seem to be a faultline between Ransome the campaigning journalist of the Manchester Guardian and Ransome the chidren's author.

I wonder whether at some stage of his career Ransome may have been informally warned about his political activities. It's interesting that his secret service files were mostly destroyed. The materials at Kew are "reconstituted files' - which are as genuine as "fresh orange juice" made from "concentrated orange juice".
