Durston, George
The Boy Scouts in Front of Warsaw; Or, In the Wake of War
Produced by John Pobuda
"The Boy Scouts in Front of Warsaw; Or, In the Wake of War" by George Durston is a historical novel likely written during the early 20th century, amidst the backdrop of World War I. The narrative unfolds in Warsaw, a city recently ravaged by bombings, where the protagonist—a young boy named Warren Morris—finds himself in a dire situation involving the disappearance of his little sister, Elinor, and another child, Rika. This book explores themes of bravery, familial loyalty, and the impact of war on innocent lives, focusing on the quest to rescue the children from their captors. At the start of the story, the devastating aftermath of the fall of Warsaw sets a grim tone as people flee, leaving the city in ruins. Amidst this chaos, Warren and Ivan, a young nobleman, discuss the mysterious disappearance of Elinor and Rika, who were last seen in their home. As they search for clues, they gather some Boy Scouts to aid in the rescue. However, their journey is fraught with danger as the children have been kidnapped by criminals who plan to exploit their beauty for begging. The opening chapters detail the precarious situation of the characters and introduce the urgent need to navigate the war-torn streets while plotting a rescue, establishing a thrilling backdrop for their adventure.
