While writing Swallowdale in 1931 he had Peter Duck planned, and wrote to his American publisher (Lippincott): After that I've a lovely book about an old schoolmaster and a fisherman and a boy and a river.

Hugh Brogan comments that As it turned out, "The River Comes First" was going to have to wait and ferment for twelve years: rather too long, perhaps (Introduction, page 17).
