great set of explanations - the only one I think is really improbable is the Blacketts having to leave school because of money issues - they never seem to have any worries money-wise in any of the books and captain flint in fact has excess money frequently.
As Giraffes4ever said it would be a bit odd all those things happening at once, but it's not impossible so thanks for giving a neat solution to the difficulty.

I love how this story logically explains something I had never even noticed. I always just assumed Great Northern took place during the school holidays like all the other books. Fantastic explanations in a really interesting format.

This is really good, I love the letters, and it does a good job of explaining the problem. Of course, it is a tiny bit unrealistic, all those coincidences, happening at the same time, but that isn't youre fault, tis Ransome's, for leaving such a confusing muddle to solve... Well done, I enjoyed reading it.

As John would say, "Not bad." and Roger would helpfully add, "which means, 'jolly good'."

I was thinking it might help if you put lines between each letter. Just a thought.

Keep writing!
