Please See All Photos. ~ It is some years since the identity of the unknown "Holborn Rover" was discovered to be Mr. Ralph Reader, eminent in… the world of the theatre as producer, dancer and singer. Since those days the Gang Shows and the Pageant Play "Boy Scout" at the Albert Hall, as well as the many other plays he has written for Scouting, have made his name widely known wherever British Scouting exists. He has been awarded the Silver Wolf and is now a member of the Council of the Boy Scouts Association. This is his first appearance as an author. It is said that all Scouts are partly crazy. To show that it is at least true of himself, R. R. has written a crazy book. But as with all he writes, again and again he will pull the reader up with a jerk and make him think about himself and his boys and the Movement generally. Ralph lets off a lot of fireworks, but by their light we are enabled to see Scouting better. Sprague, Ken (illustrator).
