Product Description
Product Description
The book also contains a detailed introduction detailing Ransome’s Baltic sailing in Slug and Kittiwake and includes unpublished articles and essays together with many original Ransome pictures and present day photographs of the area.
The manuscript has been researched, edited and introduced by Brian Hammett, who received critical acclaim for his work on Racundra’s Third Cruise. Details of Racundra’s life after Ransome are also included. It has the full support of Ransome’s literary executors who are delighted to see it republished.
From the Inside Flap
That Racundra′s First Cruise:
- is Arthur Ransome′s first really successful book
- is his first book on sailing
- is a classic cruising book
- took place in the aftermath of the first world war
- is one of the very few books about sailing in the Baltic
- formed the basis of his future writing
- taught Ransome cruising and changed the the course of his life
This new edition of Racundra′s First Cruise includes the original maps, text and photographs from the 1923 edition, of which only 1500 copies were printed. The book was reprinted many time sin various edition and formats but never in its original form. Details of Ransome′s first attempts at Baltic sailing, in his two previous boats slug and kittiwake, are included in the introduction.
About the building of Racundra, Ransome says:
"I took a deep breath and signed the contract. This was among the few wise things I have done in my life, for, more than anything else, this boat helped me to get back to my proper trade of writing."
