A trip through the tunnel of time to the Edwardian era for my Random 12 choice today! You got an awful lot for a penny in them days. I’m guessing the author of The Blot, Maxwell Scott, is a pseudonym – Maxwell-Scott being one of those fine establishment families that every nation has – like the von Weizsäckers in Germany, or perhaps the Kennedys in the US.
Best page is Your Editor’s Den – an absolute hoot! Well worth reading, including a letter from a girl in British Columbia. Also, in the Smart Tricks column, I love the way it is assumed the boy reading it has a top hat.
Eugen Sandow, muscle man supreme, presents us with some fitness routines (I’ll pass) and a wonderful illustration of the human body – and there’s a Sexton Blake story too!
