As Peter Duck was the very first Ransome I ever read at the age of eight, the absence of a frame didn't bother me at all. It just seemed like an exciting adventure story. It was only later when I found some of the other books in the school library that I realised that there was a difference between Peter Duck and the other early ones. The reference to making up a story about Peter Duck in Swallowdale explained it all quite to my satisfaction.
