Without wanting to sound too like Stopford Brooke in 1889, it would be so wasteful to see such an important part of #LakeDistrict literary history lost to the public. Time for a C21st campaign like the C19th one our co-captain @pollyrowena.bsky.social researched: link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

The truth behind a British children’s classic is revealed with the premiere of Swallows and Armenians at the Chelsea Theatre. Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons, set in the Lake District, was an instant success when published in 1930. However, the truth behind the inspiration for the story has been suppressed until now. The actor-musician production by Karen Babayan is based on her book Swallows and Armenians, which she wrote after extensive research.
