Baden Powell: The Two Lives of a Hero
William Hillcourt 480 pages, hardback
This William "Green Bar Bill" Hillcourt book has been proclaimed throughout the world as the definitive biography of Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scout movement. Written by his close personal friend Hillcourt with help from B-P's wife, Olave, Lady Baden-Powell, this book is a must for every Scouter's shelf.
It is an astonishing tale of an amazing man and the age in which he lived. It covers the two careers of Baden-Powell: the first as a soldier and British national hero; the second, as founder and guiding genius of Scouting.
First published in 1964, this book has been released in several editions, several languages and hundreds of thousands of copies have sold worldwide.
This current edition was self-published by William Hillcourt himself shortly before his death in 1992, and SCOUTER.com is the exclusive distributor for the book.
There are only a limited number of this edition remaining, and they will likely not last through the end of 2002. Once this edition goes out of print, this wonderful book will once again be off the market and out of print for an indefinite period of time.
