current editions of the swallows and amazons series have illustrations which were drawn by ransome himself. the first edition of "swallows and amazons" was published almost without illustrations. ransome so disliked the pictures by steven spurrier that were commissioned by his publisher, jonathan cape, that the only pictures in the first edition were the endpaper map of the lake and a map of wild cat island. for the second edition, clifford webb was commissioned to produce the illustrations, which met with grudging approval from ransome. webb also illustrated "swallowdale", but ransome decided that he would personally illustrate the third book, "peter duck". as this book was supposedly based on information supplied by the children themselves, ransome drew the pictures as though done by the characters. these illustrations were so popular that ransome illustrated the remainder of his books himself. in 1938, he drew his own pictures for "swallows and amazons" and "swallowdale" to replace webb's.
