Possibly the first boys paper published in the UK.

Stories and illustrations with letters and lots of ideas for bored boys.

My grandfather used to deliver the paper before he came to Canada in 1926. He says he say an article about coming to Canada and received permission from his parents. He was 13 years old. This month he turns 90. - Wayne Bunt

I vaguely remember seeing it in the early fifties. It certainly wasn't popular with any of my friends. I seem to remember it as boring. - John

Hello there I've just aquired a Boys Own annual of 1895, which makes very interesting reading. Amongst many articles such as "How to build a canoe" , I came across a story by the great Jules Verne called "The star of the Settlement". I couldn't find this story in any listings of his works.
