I am currently writing a book on children's writers to be published next fall by Groundwood Books, Toronto. I am looking for permission to quote one short passage from Swallows and Amazons, two short quotations from Arthur Ransome's "A Letter to a Friend" and to reproduce the photograph of the Altounyan children which is in Christina Hardyment's Captain Flint's Trunk. Hardyment gives, as the source for this picture, Brigit Sanders. Could anyone out there in Ransomeland assist me by providing contact people for these permissions? I would be grateful for names and abjectly grateful for addresses. Thanks in advance for any help.
