In this pioneering work about the precursor to the comic book,
Kelly Boyd traces the evolution of the boys' story paper and its
impact on the imaginative world of working-class readers. From the
penny dreadful and the Boy's Own Paper to the tales of Billy Bunter
and Sexton Blake, this cultural form shaped ideas about gender,
race, class and empire in response to social change. This study is
an important analysis of a neglected part of popular culture.
