Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Boy Scouts Book of Stories: Edited With Introduction and Notes
So much of my time is given to reading boys' books that, when I read books for grown-ups, now and again I find myself saying, What-a bully story for boys to read! Latterly, I have been putting down the titles of 'such stories. When the list began to lengthen, it occurred to me, why not make a book for boys contain ing stories like that: stories written for grown-ups but also of interest to boys in their early teens.
Such a collection of stories could not be made, how ever, without the consent of the authors and publishers, but since everybody loves a boy, I didn't have much trouble in convincing them they ought to grant per mission to use their stories for such a purpose and, as a result, I am pleased to present to the boy readers of our country the Bov scouts book OF stories.
