The Arthur Ransome Society
Introduction to the TARS website
Welcome to the TARS website - the website of The Arthur Ransome Society.
Arthur Ransome was the celebrated author of the 12 "Swallows and Amazons" stories - written for young people of all ages. But he was much more: bohemian, media correspondent during the Russian Revolution, spy, sailor, fisherman, pipe smoker... The Society exists to celebrate his life and to promote his interests in exploring, camping, sailing, navigation, leadership, literature and much more.
