NotesJames Henderson & Sons (1d) Prince Pippin In Magic-Land, & Other Fairy Tales Cover & art by G.W. Wakefield Scanned at 300dpi by Cosmic Jukebox Contents Prince Pippin In Magic-Land, by "Roland Quiz", Richard M. H. Quittenton*... Page 3 The Children's Picnic In The Woods, by Juanita Jones... Page 40 Fritz And The Giant Ogre, by Arthur Thomas Wicks... Page 42 The Magic Stone, by Elsie Pearson... Page 44 Our Fun & Puzzle Page... Page 45 * I think, but it may have been by May P. Japp, who also wrote for & probably edited the magazine at this time. The next 3 issues are reported as due out on November 17th, 1911. At this point in time it was published at a rate of 3 issues on the same day, every month. The usual habit was to publish on the same day of the week each month & November 17th was the 3rd Friday, so my educated guess for this issue would be the 3rd Friday in October, which would be 20th October 1911.

This is really curious, it dates from before Tolkien's Hobbit. And on the first pages we have giant eagles, talking trees, magic swords, elfs, ogres, we even have two friends named Pippin and Merry. Seems we have the begining of Sword & sorcery gender here. Will search more about this after finish my reading.

I'm Curious as to what category this is filed under. Doesn't show up in the 'Index Card' details. Page 5 lists a number of other ' prince Pippin' tales by the same author, so this story was part of a series of a kind. Tolkien would have been 19 in 1911, so it doesn't stretch reality to think that he might have read these stories and used the names PIPPIN and MERRY as a tribute. Also, in the notes it states, ' More information on this book at the bottom of the page' but there is none. Here is a little information on James Henderson and Sons and its worth knowing. http://ukcomics.wikia.com/wiki/James_Henderson_%26_Sons They are apparently credited with publishing the first comic in Britain and of publishing ( as a serial) R.L. Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' .

This is interesting and not only for the claim about Funny Folks being the first British comic. There is a lot of evidence suggesting the title should go to The Glasgow Looking Glass. Be that as it may, in this issue of Young Folks' Tales, there are 2 different printers mentioned at the back on different pages. Co-operative and Walbrook. Shurely shome mishtake! Apart from that an intriguing book.

So the author is Richard Quittenton, he used the name Roland Quiz as pseudonym. There are 4 books with the adventures of Tim Pippin as mentioned on the introduction. Apparently is a really big saga, this edition says "end of book twelve of Pippin adventures' . I did saw some people saying the book was a influence for C.S Lewis, as he and Tolkien were friends, it really isn't a stretch at all. It's a pity we have only one edition here. I found Giant Land and Monster Land for sale but would really love to find more of the Magic Land on Young Folks.
