Playing the Game
A Baden-Powell Compendium for Scouts Old and Young
Sinopsis
Drawing on Baden-Powells extensive archive, Playing the Game is a rich and evocative selection of his writings, on peace - a major theme throughout his career and the theme of the 2007 centenary celebrations, on his own life, from his wonderfull idiosyncratic anecdotal autobiography and includes a healthy sprinkling of some of BPs more memorable aphorisms, such as ‘I don’t mind confessing I have a weakness for hippos and The man who holds the average boy’s attention for more than seven minutes is a genius, not to mention Knowledge without character is mere pie-crust.
Imbued with a strong sense of the splendour and the old-school Empire feel of Baden-Powell’s work, Playing the Game offers a dazzling window into a world that’s gone, but whose legacy remains alive, not least in the 28 million members of the Scouts Association
