The Boy's Own Magazine

The Boy's Own Magazine was the best-known name for "an illustrated journal of fact, fiction, history, and adventure" published in London by S. O. Beeton.

Publication History

The Boy's Own Magazine began in 1855. A new series began in 1863. The annual compilations of the magazine went by a variety of names, usually with "Beeton's" or "Boy's Own Volume" in the name. It stopped publication in 1874. A "Beeton's Boys Own Magazine" later ran from 1888 or 1889 to 1890.
