Elleke Boehmer is the Professor of World Literature in English at the University of Oxford, and Director of the Oxford Centre for Life Writing at Wolfson College.

Her second collection of short stories, To the Volcano, appeared in 2019.

Robert Baden-Powell was born in 1857 and served in the British Army in India, Afghanistan and, later, West and southern Africa. His extemporising command of the siege of Mafeking during the Anglo-Boer War elevated Baden-Powell to the status of imperial symbol, lone hero of an empire under threat. In Scouting for Boys he mixed his love for the outdoors, and delight in play-acting, together with the games ethic of the Victorian public school, and processed these into a newly minted tradition, Britain's most successful recreational export of the twentieth century. His prolific production of Scouting texts continued unstinted virtually until his death, in 1941 in Kenya.
