dangermom Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wow. Who knew that Arthur Ransome proposed to every eligible girl he knew, was good buddies with Lenin, and married Trotsky's secretary?? Oh, and he was a spy. History is weirder than fiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I think more than a few people were caught up in the wonders suggested by the first Russian revolution who were not anticipating the reality of what happened once the Bolsheviks gained control. I do need to find Swallows and Amazons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in SJ Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I love all the Swallows & Amazons books, except for Peter Duck. In fact I am reading Pigeon Post right now. Thank you for the interesting article. Amber in SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
