John -
In your previous entry, you said,
"I'm beginning to sound like Ed Kiser now."
And I very much agree with you, in that you have quite well captured the feeling of the value these books have brought to me. They do take me back to a wonderful world, that perhaps could never really exist, but could be well imagined that it just might be TRUE. There is indeed a freshness and an excitement that builds no matter how many times I may have dug into a particular book, no matter how many years have passed since my first readings.
These delightful people were my childhood friends, and continue to be dear to me yet today, as they forever have captured their youthfulness, and when I am with them, I, too, recapture my own.
It is indeed delightful to find someone that shares in the sensing of the treasure we have here. But I'm sure, we are not alone in our continuing appreciation of "All Things Ransome."
Now, about that Beckfoot plumbing...
