Editing Arthur Ransome (section)

==Personal life==
Ransome married twice, first to Ivy Constance Walker in 1909, with whom he had a daughter, Tabitha Ransome; the couple divorced in 1924. His second marriage, that same year, was to Evgenia Petrovna Shelepina. Although MI5 appeared satisfied with Ransome's loyalty to Britain by 1937, [[KGB]] files that were opened following the [[History of the Soviet Union (1985–1991)|end of the Soviet Union]] suggest that Evgenia Ransome, at least, was involved in smuggling diamonds from the USSR to Paris to help fund the [[Comintern]]. This is examined in the 2009 book ''The Last Englishman: the Double Life of Arthur Ransome'' by Roland Chambers.<ref>Chambers (2009) p 292</ref> Ransome and his second wife are buried in the same grave.
