Needed some comfort reading to help me fall asleep last night, so I turned to some old favorites: the Swallows & Amazons series.
The title made me, at first glance, roll my eyes and think sci-fi, but no - they're wonderful charming lovely books about children in the UK in the 30s. These kids spend their days sailing, rowing, camping, gold mining, skating, etc - and imagining. Lots of imagination! And lots of food stuff. Always about packing lunches.
When I read these, all outside troubles disappear. Stress is gone, unemployment anxiety is gone, everything is a cozy rosy hue.
I highly recommend the entire series by Arthur Ransome.
