From a box of books that I was given. This is a hard-back book. It is now available.

Review from Bookride.com

A professor (who 'wore an old quilted black-satin dinner-jacket and a skullcap with a tassel on it'...) engages the Scouts to help dig up remains of a ruined chapel, seeking blocks of masonry with inscriptions. Assembled together these reveal the location of a secret treasure, actually a document which restores the rightful owners to the local mansion. Along the way, various lower-class 'wasters', 'hooligans' and even 'hobble-di-hoys' attempt to thwart them. Punches are thrown, rivers forged, cars crashed, tables full of pies demolished - and all is well in the end. It is an enchanting period piece. The text is punctuated with cries of 'Crumbs!', 'By Jingo!', Right-o!' and 'Well, I'm blest!' Prout was a Scoutmaster apparently and his enthusiasm for the movement shines through every page - it is in effect an advertisement for Scouting.

I left the book on a reading table near to the hospital entrance.

Ik zou het fijn vinden als je mijn naam, chamonix 44, wilt invullen als Referring Member.

I spotted two BC-books in the hall of the Twenteborg Hospital in Almelo and decided to take this one.

I tried to read the book, but didn't like it a lot. I didn't finish it.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

I released the book on May 3rd in the clubhouse of Scouting group St. Christoffel in Hengelo (OV). It's on the top of one of the cabinets in the hall.
