Arthur Ransome was born on January 18, 1884, in Leeds. His father, a professor of History, instilled in the young Arthur a love of nature by taking him sailing, camping and fishing in the Lake District. Every summer holiday was spent in at Swainson's Farm on the edge of Coniston Water, a place that Ransome was to return to again and again and became the location for Swallows and Amazons.


    
Educated at Rugby, Ransome nursed a desire to become a writer from a very early age, being particularly fascinated by fairy stories. In 1929, he wrote the first of many stories revolving around the adventures of four children, based on four real-life children, including himself. The book was slow to sell at first but within three or four years of its publication it was universally accepted as a classic of children's literature. The sequel, Swallowdale, and another 10 books followed in quick succession and he won many awards, including the Carnegie Medal in 1936 for Pigeon Post.

    
Arthur Ransome’s twelve books about adventures in small wooden boats are utterly captivating: you can almost feel the breeze on your cheeks, smell the "pemmican" (corned beef) sizzling in the pan over the fire, see the sun setting over the still water. Sailing at night, roaming through the woods, camping where and when one wishes. Fictional places, but recognisably based on the Lake District and the Norfolk Broads. 
He died on 3rd June 1967.
