Good fun

This is a terrific magazine series for kids from the 1800's. It reminds me so much of the Cricket magazines I used read in my school library. There are serialised short stories, poems, science, art, jokes, letters from readers, in essence everything you would expect to see in a children's magazine. I enjoyed the audiobook but I'd love to see a text version with the illustrations. Many thanks to the readers.
