Ransome, Arthur
1 Reviews
(2)
YA
British author Arthur Ransome was also a Russian correspondent throughout the Revolution and a suspected Bolshevik sympathizer and double agent. Sedgwick fictionalizes his story into a romance and Bildungsroman, a fairy tale and novel of politics and suspense, pulling them together with an authoritative narrative voice. This stylized account evokes a historical moment even as it celebrates the complicated past of a classic children's author.
