Boys of England was "a journal of sport, travel, fun, and instruction for the youths of all nations", a weekly paper, edited by E.J. Brett from 1866 to 1899. Many of the serials which ran in the pages of the magazine were reprinted in book form with brightly coloured covers. We have a large collection of these and of similar boy’s papers from the period.
