Manuscript magazine compiled by the children and parents of an unidentified English family. Each of the eight parts is approximately 50 to 100 pages, with contributions in varied hands, interspersed with occasional watercolors. The first issue sets out the publication agenda: "My dear readers, I think you would like to know the purpose of this little work. First of all it is to afford some amusement for the long winter evenings, and then I hope to get a great many people to subscribe for the Sailors Mission Box, I regret to say is not half full, any contributions are gratefully received by the Editor. Anyone may send on payment of one penny, original stories, puzzles, etc. etc. for insertion in our Magazine and we your loving Snowdrop & Aïda will receive them." Many of the stories are fantasy or recount exploits in the country, with titles such as "My Grandfather's Pigeons," "Autumn a fable," and "The Person in the Red Cloak, a Mystery." - Form/Genre:
