Outside in the forest there was deep snow, and the sound of more falling down from the branches, but the little hut where Old Peter lived with his grandchildren Vanya and Maroosia was snug and warm, and there was nothing cosier in the world than sitting by the stove and listening to his stories.

OLD PETER'S RUSSIAN TALES de RANSOME, Arthur 1974 Puffin
Arthur Michell Ransome (1884 - 1967) was an English author and journalist. He is best known for writing the Swallows and Amazons series of children's books about the school-holiday adventures of children, mostly in the Lake District and the Norfolk Broads. Many of the books involve sailing; fishing and camping are other common subjects. The books remain popular and -Swallows and Amazons- is the basis for a tourist industry around Windermere and Coniston Water, the two lakes Ransome adapted as his fictional North Country lake. He also wrote about the literary life of London and about Russia before, during and after the revolutions of 1917. --Wikipedia
