Free downloads of some Arthur Ransome if you are in USA.

These works are in the public domain in the USA as are all works published before 1923. Gutenberg state on their front page, at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page : “Our ebooks are free in the United States because their copyright has expired. They may not be free of copyright in other countries. Readers outside of the United States must check the copyright laws of their countries before downloading or redistributing our ebooks.”
All of AR’s titles are still in copyright in the UK and the rest of the world, and neither Gutenberg nor anyone else has a licence to publish or distribute them in e-format in the UK.

ARs books are sadly low down on the download list because we are not allowed to download them in the UK. 'Old Peter's Russian Tales', 'Crisis in Russia', 'Russia in 1919', 'Oscar Wilde a Critical Study' and 'Boy Scouts Book of Stories'. 

When you are in the USA you can dowload there or mention it to your US friends and relatives. http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/
