Although the books are ostensibly set in the late 20s early 30s they should be read as evocations of the times of AR's own childhood
Aren't they a mixture of a number of phases in his life? AR's experiences of the Lakes and first journeys in his imaginingation as a child; his subsequent return to the Lakes as a young writer; his relationship with the young Altounyans as he began SA?
