Description
Leeds University throws up some diverse stuff. Recently discovered manuscripts there provide us with this fascinating account from Arthur Ransome, author of Swallows and Amazons, one of the most widely read childrens' books. A piece of classic Ransome writing tells the story of his 1924 cruise in Latvia with his new wife Evgenia who, incidentally, had been Trotsky's secretary. History and adventure. HB 128pp B/W photos, maps and sketches.
