Arthur Ransome was born in Leeds in 1884 and went to school at Rugby. He was in Russia in 1917, and witnessed the Revolution, which he reported for the Manchester Guardian. After escaping to Scandinavia, he settled in the Lake District with his Russian wife where, in 1929, he wrote Swallows and Amazons. And so began a writing career which has produced some of the real children's treasures of all time. In 1936 he won the first ever Carnegie Medal for his book, Pigeon Post. Ransome died in 1967. He and his wife Evgenia lie buried in the churchyard of St Paul's Church, Rusland, in the southern Lake District. The Autobiography of Arthur Ransome is a posthumously published, carefully edited life story of the Swallows and Amazons author, shaped and brought to print by his friend and literary executor Rupert Hart?Davis. It covers Ransome's childhood, early literary struggles, his extraordinary years in revolutionary Russia, and the beginnings of the books that made him beloved. Ref X 4. N° de réf. du vendeur 036954
