I find that as I have aged, my AR preferences have changed also. Whilst I still think of PP & WH as very good books, I now find difficulty in choosing between PM & WD as my favourite.
As an overview, I think AR's love of the lakes comes through in the 5 novels he based in the region. This. I feel, adds a little extra to his writing so that these books in general have the edge on the others.
The other place that he lived near, Pin Mill, also contains a rear feeling of place in WD & SW. This never quite shows in the broads novels or any of the others.
