John Hargrave
John Gordon Hargrave (6 June 1894 – 21 November 1982), (woodcraft name 'White Fox'), was described in his obituary as an 'author, cartoonist, inventor, lexicographer, artist and psychic healer'.〔''The'' ''Times'', 25 November 1982: see similar lists in Hargrave's obituaries in the ''Guardian'', 26 November 1982 and the ''Daily Telegraph'', 1 December 1982.〕 As Head Man of the Kibbo Kift, he was a prominent youth leader in Britain during the 1920s and 1930s. He was a Utopian thinker, a believer in both science and magic, and a figure-head for the Social Credit movement in British politics.
==Early life==
Born in Midhurst, Sussex, into an itinerant Quaker family,〔(Hargrave section of Kibbo Kift website ) and Ross and Bennett (2015) Chapter 4.〕 Hargrave was the son of painter Gordon Hargrave and his wife Babette Bing, of Jewish Hungarian descent.〔H. F. Oxbury, "John Hargrave", ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''〕 A bohemian childhood, spent partly in the Lake District, left him with a passion for Nature and a fierce propensity for self-education through reading books and observing the world around him. In 1908, the family moved to Latimer where, in 1909 Hargrave joined the First Chorleywood Scouts, a group of Baden Powell's Boy Scouts.〔 In 1910 his career as a published book illustrator began when a few of his vignettes appeared in an edition of ''Gulliver in Liliiput'', published by Thomas Nelson & Sons, a commission almost certainly arranged through the patronage of Lady Chesham. He was also given a year-long trial as a cartoonist on the ''Evening Times''. He became a devotee of the naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton, and one of the leading Scout authorities on Woodcraft.〔 His interests in scouting, nature and art combined to produce the book that made his name, or rather his scouting name of 'White Fox'. This was ''Lonecraft'' published by Constable in 1913 and introducing the characteristic 'White Fox' style of no-nonsense text, interspersed with pictures and diagrams. Rising up the Scout hierarchy, Hargrave produced a succession of scouting and woodcraft books for C. Arthur Pearson Ltd, who offered him a position of staff artist in 1914, his first salaried job.〔
