Boys Life Treasury is a collection of short stories written by different authors for the Boy Scout magazine. Although I was not a member of a boy scout troop as a boy, my mother did give me a subscription to the magazine as a gift which I loved to read. I came across this book and immediately bought it. Although there were one or two not so good the majority of the stories I enjoyed. I meant to take my time and read a story every so often but that plan fell apart. I started reading every day. The book contains fiction and non-fiction short articles. The non fiction stories are mostly about sports and physical activities which I found helpful. Although this book is from a time when the boy scouts were boys only, I highly recommend this book to young and old for the information and entertainment in it.
