This is the only book ever published which sets out in clear detail the life of Ransome's paternal grandfather. It shows how he went to Australia to consolidate the family's fortune. It also shows how Arthur's mother inherited certain traits and skills from her father, which she in turn passed on to some of her children, including Arthur. A most important book this in the understanding of what made Arthur tick. 39 colour plates and many other illustrations make this book a very desirable item. |
