Harris, Steven2015
Books
The story of Lord Baden-Powell is well-known by most people - the cunning colonel of Boer War fame and the founder of the Boy Scout and Girl Guide movements - but there is much more to his story. What of his forebears and wider family members? For the first time, the unique story of the Baden-Powell family is told using unique family memoirs, sketches and photographs across several centuries. Many of Lord Baden-Powell's earlier family members were eminent and well-known people in their day (including a bishop and two admirals). Some were East Enders, one was a neighbour of Charles Dickens, and another became Governor of the Bank of England. Their lives and stories all had an influence on Lord Baden-Powell and helped him to become one of the most famous, quirky and charismatic figures of the twentieth century.
