1924 The Girl's Own Annual

Description

Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

Volume forty-five. Illustrated throughout with a colour frontispiece, one colour plate, and numerous full-page and in-text black-and-white images. The Girl's Own Paper was a British story paper for young women and girls which was published weekly from 1880 until 1956 by the Religious Tract Society, which subsequently became the Lutterworth Press. The paper provided a mixture of educational articles, stories, poetry, music, answers to correspondence, and plates or illustrations. Most of the content was created by female writers, artists, and musicians, and as the years progressed the paper included information on serious careers for women and advice on style and dress. For some years The Girl's Own Annual was published as a collection of issues throughout the year. This volume contains articles and stories entitled: The Tonic of Autumn, Were the Victorians Dull and Drab?, An Easily-Made Knitted Jacket, The Blackbird's Christmas Carol, and The Heir of Dunicrail, amongst others. Edited by Emily Flora Klickmann, an English journalist, author and editor. She was the second editor of the Girl's Own Paper, but became best known for her Flower-Patch series of books of anecdotes, autobiography and nature description. Dated from the University of Glasgow Library.
