I've just altered a statement in this article which is not accurate, and thought I'd explain this, just in case anyone questions it. If anyone wants to revert it, please consider this before doing so.
The article previously stated that this book differed from other books in being set on a highland moor, and stated that most books in the series were set on Kirrin Island or at Kirrin Cottage. However, this is not true: I am very familiar with all these books, and can state that just 7 of the 21 books are set mostly or even just substantially in either of these locations - which is a very long way from being "most" of the books. The other 14 books - fully two-thirds of the series - either have no scenes at all in these locations, or only a brief introductory or concluding scene, before or after a trip the characters take to some other location, which is where the bulk of the story takes place.
I also removed the reference which "backs up" this incorrect statement (a review of the book) - not only because it is no longer needed with the incorrect statement corrected, but because the review itself never stated that most of the books were set on Kirrin Island or at Kirrin Cottage - the reviewer was merely stating that he preferred the books which were set in other locations. In other words, even if the statement I've corrected were in fact correct, this review doesn't support it anyway. M.J.E. (talk) 15:29, 7 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
