The Greyfriars Holiday Annual |
||||
| Published yearly from 1920 to 1941, this was a 'must
have' item for Christmas. Expensive at 5/-, it often required the family
resources pooled to afford this major Stocking Filler. Originally the
title was The Holiday Annual but, in 1921, it became The
Greyfriars Holiday Annual. Bright coloured boards captured the eye and imagination of the readers. Today they are much sought after. Sadly, having been read and re-read, they are often in poor condition. The Annuals did not only contain Greyfriars material - St. Jim's and
Rookwood featured regularly. Stories about these three schools are included -
i.e. Magnet, Gem, and Boys' Friend, in the Holiday Annual lists below.
Rookwood Stories are also listed on the Rookwood page. |
