Sorry, Bruce, but it's not in my copy of 'Coots in the North'. All I can find about Titty in Brogan's intro is:
' . . .Titty, the imaginative centre of the stories'.
I think most of us would agree with that. I doubt whether any of the 'specialist' writers on Ransome would have come out with the sort of over-simplistic analysis of Titty cited by Chobi. It sounds like something a reviewer might have said - someone who has not read all the books, and therefore has not come across Dorothea, for instance.
