It was Ransome and his imagination and skill as a writer that took these snippets of real places and people and put them together to create such satisfying and realistic images in our minds.
Yes, of course.
Ransome's creation is awesome. It is the mature work of a great artist. And if we mere scribblers sometimes stumble across a snippet here and there and put it under the magnifying glass, that in no way diminishes the achievement of the author or the power and magic of his works.
