Revision as of 13:54, 27 November 2008
A Native in Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series is a person who is not a member of a crew of sailors, explorers or pirates.
Natives may be adults, relatives or unknown members of the public. All are 'out' of the 'in-group' but natives can be well-regarded (the best of all natives) or enemies (unfriendly natives).
The term native may also mean 'associated with worldly concerns' (as opposed to camping , sailing and having fun). Susan's preoccupations with food preparation and hygene are often considered native.
The term muggle, as used in Harry Potter books has similarities with native.
Synonyms
- Seals (WH)
