William and his wife Edith made a living selling their landscape paintings. (LAR p42) He set up an exhibition, now known as the Ruskin Museum (which includes a number of Ransome-related exhibits) and wrote Thorstein of the Mere, a Viking saga which features Peel Island and Coniston Water, and was a book much loved by Arthur Ransome. His family nickname was The Skald. The Collingwoods had a son and three daughters; Dora, Barbara, Robin (son) and Ursula William became a “father substitute” to Arthur, and his wife Edith an “aunt”. Arthur was a friend of Robin and their daughters, two of whom (Barbara and Dora) Arthur proposed to.(LAR p42,44)
