I noticed a reference to S&A today....

In The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins:

"Today's Just Williams, today's Huck Finns, today's Swallows and Amazons are deprived of the freedom to roam that was one of the delights of childhood in earlier times..."

For the life of me I can't remember anywhere else that S&A is referred to or quoted from. But I'm sure my fellow Tarboarders can.
