Noted English composer Cyril Scott describes the diary in the book's introduction as "a highly diverting and important human document. The document is of interest in that it reveals the thoughts, emotions and perplexities of a Victorian youngster brought up a little prior to the 'naughty nineties'... Before his death his wife persuaded him to let the diary be published. But he made certain stipulations. It was not to be printed until several years after his death. He allowed bad spellings to remain."[5] Although the author remained anonymous, Scott reveals that he was born in the North of England, his father being a businessman.[6] Critical receptionTutor Hunt wrote, "the diary is endearing and gently humorous so that readers cannot help but side with its deeply sensitive young protagonist. With the boy we laugh at the adults around him for all their various embarrassments and hypocrisies. From their fumbling explanations about the meaning of scriptural words like "adultery" and "circumcision," to the carbuncle on the curate's "B-T-M" and on to the vicar's piles it's all wonderfully observed",[7] and holisticshop applauded, "its naive candours, its drolleries, its unconscious humour, its oscillations between the ridiculous and the exalted, and its power to convince, for the very reason that the young diarist never set out with the intention of carrying conviction."[8]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cyrilscott.net/Writings/CSbooks.html|title=Books by Cyril Scott|work=cyrilscott.net|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151220001641/http://www.cyrilscott.net/Writings/CSbooks.html|archivedate=2015-12-20|df=}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Boy Who Saw True}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/the-boy-who-saw-true/id437827816?mt=11|title=The Boy Who Saw True|author=Ebury Publishing|work=iBooks}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-boy-who-saw-true-anonymous/1115663212|title=The Boy Who Saw True: The Time-Honoured Classic of the Paranormal|author=Barnes & Noble|work=Barnes & Noble}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.randomhouse.com.au/books/anonymous/the-boy-who-saw-true-the-time-honoured-classic-of-the-paranormal-9781844131501.aspx|title=The Boy Who Saw True: The Time-Honoured Classic of the Paranormal|work=Random House Australia}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://scholar.library.miami.edu/gleason/true.html|title=The Jackie Gleason Collection|work=miami.edu}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=EcZvH-EXmpYC&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=the+boy+who+saw+true+cyril+scott&source=bl&ots=Lm9fu3MU13&sig=Ap9ht_whD1tM9U1jK3k3qfw4xB4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CFcQ6AEwCGoVChMIhKDb4riVyQIVAk0aCh2evgac#v=onepage&q=the%20boy%20who%20saw%20true%20cyril%20scott&f=false|title=The Boy Who Saw True|work=google.co.uk}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tutorhunt.com/resource/2400/|title=Anon: The Boy Who Saw True|work=tutorhunt.com}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.holisticshop.co.uk/products/boy-saw-true#sthash.Pvj5YKme.dpuf|title=The Boy Who Saw True - Anonymous - Psychic & Clairvoyance|author=Louise Haworth|work=holisticshop.co.uk}} 5 : 1953 books|English-language books|Diaries|Clairvoyants|Occult books |
