The only problem with Swallows and Amazons of course is that when Ransome fans compile their 'favourites' lists S&A itself doesn't usually do too well.

That's true- and of course, it was AR's first book in the series, and he was getting into the swing of writing them. Not suprisingly, the later ones are more polished.

However, because of the signifying title it's become shorthand for 'the series'. Can't be helped... And it was hugely successful, after all.
