| Summary | "A Scout of To-day" by Isabel Hornibrook is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a group of boys, particularly Colin Estey, who are eager to explore the mysterious woods near their New England home. Throughout their journey, they encounter various elements of nature, face challenges, and discover the importance of camaraderie and bravery. The opening of the book introduces Colin, a spirited fourteen-year-old boy with a longing for adventure as he daydreams about the vast, uncharted woodlands that stretch beyond the marsh by his home. His desire to explore comes to life when he comes across his friends Marcoo and Nixon, along with the more experienced Starrie, who collectively embark on a quest to find Varney's Paintpot and the Bear's Den. Their excitement leads them deep into the woods, where they confront challenges, including Nixon's initial skepticism about his city cousin's readiness for rugged life. The dynamic within the group sets the stage for themes of exploration, friendship, and the need for teamwork amidst their adventures. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
