Fanzine that published some fiction.

Originally a farming and rural magazine which ran occasional poems and extracts from novels; under Curtis (when it became a companion to The Saturday Evening Post) fiction became a strong feature. Authors included Ben Ames Williams and Zane Grey, a number of whose westerns were serialized here.

With the Aug-1955 issue, the magazine was sold to Farm Journal, which became Farm Journal and Country Gentleman from Sept-1955 through Nov-1956. The title was revived for a 1975-1982 run during which it carried a small amount of fiction.

Subtitled "a Magazine for Town & Country Readers", the contents at first glance are uninspiring, but the magazine contained a good proportion of fiction (including stories by S. Baring-Gould and Arnold Golsworthy).

A society magazine aimed primarily at the landed gentry (in its early years). It published a regular story or two per issue, usually nature-related, including several stories by Algernon Blackwood (e.g. "The Sea Fit" 25-Jun-1910), and "Davy Jones's Gift" by John Masefield (11-Nov-1905).

Mostly non-fiction articles about country music stars and the country music industry, but did feature some reprint fiction by Louis L'Amour.

Really a continuation of La Belle Assemblee, started in 1806 but which underwent several transformations until revamped under this unwieldy title when it merged with The Lady's Magazine. It featured an incredible miscellany of material with a growing emphasis on fiction, often running long, increasingly bizarre stories. Few authors credited, and only story that has been reprinted since is "Hugues the Wer-Wolf" (Sep-1838) by Sutherland Menzies.
