  A Tale of Baden–Powell's Boy Scouts. BY JOHN FINNEMORE AUTHOR OF 'JACK HAYDON'S QUEST,' 'THE STORY OF A SCOUT,' 'TWO BOYS IN WAR–TIME,' 'IN THE TRENCHES,' ETC. ETC. Large Crown 8vo. Cloth. Containing Eight Full–page Price 3s. 6d. This story is the only boy's book which Mr. Finnemore will publish this season, and deals with a subject now of burning interest among all boys—the scouting movement founded by Lieut.–General Baden–Powell, C.B., the hero of Mafeking. The story deals with the adventures of boy scouts who formed a patrol, and above all, the doings of two patrol–leaders who, beginning as bitter enemies, become close friends under the influence of the boy scout movement. The book is dedicated by special permission to General Baden–Powell, who has been so kind as to read the story in manuscript, and to approve of it most heartily. In a letter to the author he says, "Wishing you all success for this so excellent a work." The book is thus stamped with the hall–mark of the founder's approval. PUBLISHED BY |
