Anyone ever read the Swallows and Amazons series by Arthur Ransome?

That crab is just what I imagine in the book called 'Peter Duck'--the third in the series.
In this book, which is a story imagined by the children from Swallows and Amazons, Peter Duck is a character who was stranded on an island with giant land crabs and slept in the trees to avoid being eaten by them!

I never thought such a thing could really exist. . .

So it's Greenman's fault that you're going to have nightmares tonight about being chased by giant crabs?

I'm still searching for an old post that I wanted to update. I'm having a heck of a time finding the one I'm looking for, but some how I came across this thread--you'd be surprised what an innocent search can pull up.

When I saw the second photo (with the garbage can), I *had* to bump this up for others who missed it the first time--as I did. (I doubt I'd have forgotten an image like that!

Good idea...I'll try that tomorrow...it is getting pretty late.

I am trying to find something that I probably posted that got off topic from a thread, so it is rather hard to find. We were talking about creating a children's book or something. (I tried "children's book" and got all sorts of things...including this thread, I think.)

Hmmmm It wasn't in my whitetail thread was it?
I recall someone talking about putting It (or maybe it was something other) that I wrote about into print.

No, it was long before that...and that is something *you* should do. What I'm thinking of is something *I* should do.

Thanks for trying 'though.

Ohhhh I thought it might have been a link involved in the conversation you may have been searching for.
Nothing I can help you out with then unless I'd have further info on the topic to follow. Any more clues?
You know I love trying to solve mysteries.

The only thing I can think of is that I suggested a story for children to help them connect with the natural environment and growing natives to attract wildlife. It was suggested that *I* write it because it was my idea. I declined...although I have always wanted to do it...and illustrate it to.
