Boy's Own Paper

My name is Gavin Lockey. I'm a writer, poet and public speaker living in the South West of England.

I'd like to invite you to the world of the Boy's Own Paper, which was published for over 100 years from 1879. Within the site is a history of the BOP and sections outlining key elements of the paper, in particular through the Victorian period. You will find many original illustrations here from Boy's Own which I think reflect the wonderful content of the publication.

I give presentations on the subject of the Boy's Own Paper and will be only too happy to arrange a talk with you or your group/faculty/institution.
