First Edition
First editions, first impressions, all in the dust jackets. Together, these works "changed British children's literature, affected a whole generation's view of holidays, helped to create the national image of the English Lake District, and added Arthur Ransome's name to the select list of classic British children's authors" (Hunt, p. 13). The debut title, consisting of 2,000 copies only, "sold slowly at first, taking two years to earn its advance of £100". By 1948, "the house journal of Jonathan Cape announced that the one millionth copy, of the total copies printed of the twelve books in the 'Swallows and Amazons' series, would soon be on sale" (Hammond). The series has inspired many adaptations, including the 1963 BBC children's series, the 1974 film starring Virginia McKenna and Ronald Fraser, and the 2016 film starring Andrew Scott and Harry Enfield. In 2010, a musical version of the first book premiered at the National Theatre. Hammond A25a-36a. Peter Hunt, Approaching Arthur Ransome, 1992. 12 works, octavo. Original green cloth, spines and front covers lettered in gilt and blind, colour map endpapers. With dust jackets. Housed in six green cloth folding boxes.
