About the book >.>.> But Splendid Fun can be enjoyed by anyone; it gives a unique opportunity to glimpse the history and evolution of Guiding against the changing backdrop of society. As a past Chief Guide I am very conscious of that evolution and of the necessity of ensuring Guiding continues to change and remain relevant to the society around it. And in this book Rosemary has vividly traced the path of the organisation in Devon from its beginnings up to the present; through the linking of events and individual accounts she illustrates its development as well as the tremendous support and commitment of all those involved. Personally I have found the book helpful in understanding some aspects of my childhood; my mum was a Guide and Sea Ranger in Exmouth during the war years and she’s only ever told me tiny snippets about that part of her life. But now thanks to this lovely book I’ve a much better idea why she loved it so – and why she strongly encouraged my sister and myself to become members as soon as we were old enough. Little did I imagine that from that early start at the 2nd Countess Wear Brownies I would one day become Chief Guide! (SP)
