Summary “The 'B. O. W. C.': A Book For Boys” by James De Mille is a spirited novel written in the late 19th century. It follows a group of adventurous boys at Grand Pré School as they form a secret society called the “B. O. W. C.”—an abbreviation for “The Brethren of the Order of the White Cross.” The story captures themes of friendship, exploration, and youthful mischief, highlighting the characters' imaginative pursuits and escapades. At the start of the story, excitement fills the atmosphere as the boys anticipate their spring vacation. They convene a meeting in a comically solemn fashion to discuss their plans for an encampment, overseen by the humorous character of the Grand Panjandrum, an old cook who ignites the boys' enthusiasm with his comical responses. The initial chapters detail their elaborate plans—including extravagant meals and costumes—while also emphasizing their desires for adventure, highlighting the leadership of Bart Darner, who inspires their escapades. As they embark on their journey to establish their encampment and later to sail around the Basin of Minas, the sense of camaraderie and the spirit of adventure thrive, drawing readers into the vibrant world of childhood joy and creativity.
