- 1 · Christmas 1969: The Kind of World on which I should like it to Dawn · W. L. George · ar; (amongst other desires, WLG hopes all Britain’s major trades will be nationalized; he hopes all men and women can vote at age 21 and that children can choose representatives to vote on their behalf. He is also “oppressed by this question of transport, for already sometimes London is impassable.”).

- 17 · England in 1919 · G. K. Chesterton · fa; (being an extract from a school history of the period published in 1969 - details of the period are vague because most historical documents were destroyed by the Futurist Government of 1943. Interestingly forecast Prohibition.)

Pears’ Annual [Christmas 1921] (A. & F. Pears, Ltd.; London, 2/-, 42 + 14 + 10pp, 11" x 15¾" tabloid, cover by Frederic Whiting)
It’s a huge tabloid thing,around 15.75" x 11", 42 pages, plus 14 unnumbnered pages of coloured plates (plus 10pp advertising), price 2/-, not far off the price of a hardcover back then. Although I see from the miracle conversion chart that it’s only the equivalent of €; £2.60 today (about $4).Published by A. & F. Pears, Ltd, 71-75 New Oxford St., London WC1 (Soapmakers to the King).
It goes in a lot for arty things. The front cover in colour is a painting, “Portrait of a Lady” by Frederic Whiting, RI, ROI, RBA. Alas there were two presentation plates, “The Sleeping Beauty” by the Hon. John Collier and “Ballet” by Septimus Scott, but I don’t have them. There’s lots of other full page colour paintings by the likes of Graham SImmons, H. Hope Read, Fougasse, Steve Spurrier, Claude Shepperson etc., but I’m sure we’re more interested in the “literary” contents, which are: [MA]

- · Art of the Age · Misc. Material · cl; a regular feature on paintings.
- · Blowing Up the Enemy · Herbert C. Fyfe · ar; clearly no hopes for peace here! An article on mines.
- Stories of Other Worlds:
___ · No. I — A Visit to the Moon · George Griffith · ss Pearson’s Magazine (US) Jan ’00; Griffith’s well know robinsonade around the solar system. This was why I was sure I had this volume somewhere, because I’ve had this series for over 30 years.
- · With the Red Cross on the Battlefield · Marcus Tindal · ar; related to the Boer War, which it’s easy to forget was raging 100 years ago.
- · Garm - a Hostage · Rudyard Kipling · ss; set in India but about a dog.
- · An Army Corps at the Front · Arthur Griffiths · ar; the logistics of moving an army.
- · A Peace Congress · W. L. Alden · ar; a ’revolutionary’ approach to peace.
- · Wonders in Wheat-Growing · Austin Fryers · ar
- · Historic Mysteries: 1. The Son of Philip II · Allen Upward · ar; start of series on real historical mysteries. Upward also wrote some weird fiction and was quite popular in his day. There’s a rare photo of him in this issue (page 84) for anyone interested.
- · Smuggling Into Paris · V. Gribayedoff · ar
- · Sophie Ettrick’s Adventure · Julian Ralph · ss; set in Canada in 1780.
- · Nature’s Next Moves - The Third Hand · Barry Pain · hu; part of a humorous series where authors come up with daft ideas on how man or the animals might evolve. Barry Pain was a well known writer at the time including some good weird fiction.
- · Transplanting Big Trees · George Best · ar; probably inspired because C. Arthur Pearson himself had a large oak tree moved from his own large grounds in Frensham Place, Surrey — which is pictured here.
- · Night-Road Romances: 1. How Willowdene Will Escaped the Parson · Halliwell Sutcliffe · ss; a new series of romantic intrigue and adventure involving highwaymen.
