But there are certain of his stories that go with especial directness to a boy’s heart and sympathies and make for him quite unforgettable literature. A few of these were made some years ago into a volume, “Stories for Boys,” and found a large and enthusiastic special public in addition to Davis’s general readers; and the present collection from stories more recently published is issued with the same motive. This book takes its title from “The Boy Scout,” the first of its tales; and it includes “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” “Blood Will Tell,” the immortal “Gallegher,” and “The Bar Sinister,” Davis’s famous dog story. It is a fresh volume added to what Augustus Thomas calls “safe stuff to give to a young fellow who likes to take off his hat and dilate his nostrils and feel the wind in his face.” (Summary by Publisher's Note in book)]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/7157747/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Books</category><copyright>Copyright Short Works Genre</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/184cbbeac1e511c0c6d9dd776d6bf002.jpg</url><title>Boy Scout And Other Stories For Boys</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/boy-scout-and-other-stories-for-boys--7157747</link></image><lastBuildDate>Tue, 04 Aug 2026 01:29:20 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>Richard Harding Davis</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Short Works Genre</itunes:name><itunes:email>spreaker84@podcastlibrary.org</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/184cbbeac1e511c0c6d9dd776d6bf002.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>RICHARD HARDING DAVIS, as a friend and fellow author has written of him, was “youth incarnate,” and there is probably nothing that he wrote of which a boy would not some day come to feel the appeal.
