  • George Orwell Boys' Weeklies
    George Orwell Boys' weeklies You never walk far through any poor quarter in any big town without coming upon a small newsagent's shop. The general appearance of these shops is always very much the same: a few posters for the Daily Mail and the News of the World outside, a poky little window with sweet-bottles and packets of Players, and a dark interior smelling of liquorice allsorts and festooned from floor to ceiling with vilely printed twopenny papers, most of them with lurid cover-illustrations in three colours. Except for the daily and evening papers, the stock of these shops hardly overlaps at all with that of the big news-agents. Their main selling line is the twopenny weekly, and the number and variety of these are almost unbelievable. Every hobby and pastime — cage-birds, fretwork, carpentering, bees, carrier-pigeons, home conjuring, philately, chess — has at least one paper devoted to it, and generally several. Gardening and livestock-keeping must have at least a score between them. Then there are the sporting papers, the radio papers, the children's comics, the various snippet papers such as Tit-bits, the large range of papers devoted to the movies and all more or less exploiting women's legs, the various trade papers, the women's story-papers (the Oracle, Secrets, Peg's Paper, etc. etc.), the needlework papers — these so numerous that a display of them alone will often fill an entire window — and in addition the long series of ‘Yank Mags’ (Fight Stories, Action Stories, Western Short Stories, etc.), which are imported shop-soiled from America and sold at twopence halfpenny or threepence.

  • Bessie Bunter Missing Fortune
    HILDA RICHARDS BESSIE BUNTER AND THE MISSING FORTUNE CHAPTER I A Fright for the Fourth 'RIPPING weather!' 'Gorgeous! ' 'Just the afternoon for taking some snaps!' 'Rather!' 'And for a picnic!' fat Bessie Bunter put in eagerly. 'I say, you know, dud-don't forget the picnic―' There was a laugh from the crowd of merry-looking schoolgirls gathered on the steps of Cliff House School, and Bessie Bunter, the fattest member of the party blinked in indignant surprise. 'Well, what is there to cackle at in that?' she demanded. 'It is a ripping afternoon for a picnic! ' 'Right, Fatima!' agreed Barbara Redfern, the leader of the party. 'And a picnic there shall be, too. But the main object of the outing is to take snaps. That's why I've brought my camera.' As a matter of fact, they all had cameras-except Bessie. Bessie's camera had departed during the winter in exchange for a few shillings to buy tuck. 'Well, what are we waiting for?' the fat one exclaimed impatiently. 'And, I say, where are we going? I hope it's not too far, you know. I'm famished as it is!' There was another laugh at that. Trust Bessie to put her appetite first! The beauties of the afternoon, the thrill of picture-hunting, were considerations which fat Bessie completely ignored. A picnic was in prospect, and a picnic was Bessie's immediate and only ambition. 'We're waiting for Marcelle,' Barbara Redfern explained, and glanced over her shoulder into the school. 'She forgot her camera, and has gone to her study to fetch it.

  • Upholding the Dignity and Best Interest of Children
    FREEMAN 10/12/2010 11:49:26 AM UPHOLDING THE DIGNITY AND BEST INTERESTS OF CHILDREN: INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN * MICHAEL D.A. FREEMAN I INTRODUCTION—A PRE-HISTORY Early legal statements are conspicuously silent on children’s rights: the Ten Commandments, arguably the most influential of all legal codes, contains a clear normative pronouncement on parent–child relations—“Honor, thy father and thy mother.”1 But the commandment is in terms of respect for parents, and it is silent on the obligations of parents to love and nurture their children.2 Is it then surprising that well into early modern times children were being prosecuted in England for abusing parents, but that prosecutions of parents for beating children appear not to have taken place?3 One of the earliest recognitions of children’s rights is found in the Massachusetts Body of Liberties of 1641. Parents are told not to choose their children’s mates and not to use unnatural severity against their children.4 Children, furthermore, are given “free liberty to complain to the Authorities for redress.”5 But this is also the law that prescribes the death penalty for children over sixteen who disobey their parents.6 There is no evidence that children did in fact successfully litigate against their parents, nor is there any evidence that any disobedient children were executed.7 This recognition of children’s rights nevertheless remains interesting in showing, as it does, that 370 years ago, protection of children went hand-in-hand with adding the power of the state to parental authority.

    Chapter Ten The Retreatism of the 1930s: A Few Dissenters To me, England is the country, and the country is England. And when I ask myself what I mean by England … England comes to me through my different senses … the tinkle of the hammer on the anvil … the corncrake on a dewy morn- ing … the last load at night of hay being drawn down a lane as the twilight comes on … the smell of wood smoke coming up in an autumn evening….

The National Government elected in 1931 and its successor in 1935 were pledged to preserve stability. Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister in 1923-1924, 1924-1929 and 1935-1937, was the appropriate leader and symbol for a Britain ‘desperate for a return to tranquillity and social peace’, as Kenneth Morgan reminds us.2 Much of the country prospered, particularly in Southern England and the Midlands, and the majority of workers had no signi¿ cant spell of unemployment between 1929 and 1940. The population continued to rise. Home ownership grew and there were over a million cars in private hands © 2010 The Lutterworth Press 10: A Few Dissenters 119 which made visits to the seaside or the countryside a popular pastime for the more prosperous.3 This is the main reason why much of the children’s literature of the thirties reÀ ects a kind of quietism, what Peter Hunt has called ‘a retreat from the realities of the world surrounding the child and the book’.
