A century and a quarter is generally unkind to paper meant to be read and enjoyed by children. Wrappers are worn, torn, nicked, creased, stained and foxed. Paper is toned as well. Spines have chipped away, perhaps completely. Wrappers may be loose. Now archived in mylar bags.St. Nicholas Magazine was a popular monthly American children's magazine, founded by Scribner's in 1873. The first editor was Mary Mapes Dodge, ( Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates ) who continued her association with the magazine until her death in 1905. Dodge published work by the country's best writers, including Louisa May Alcott, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Mark Twain, Laura E. Richards and Joel Chandler Harris (Uncle Remus). Many famous writers were first published in St. Nicholas League , a department that offered awards and cash prizes to the best work submitted by its juvenile readers, which introduced Edna St. Vincent Millary, F. Scott Fitzgerald, EB White and Stephen Vincent Benet to the world as winners.St. Nicholas Magazine ceased publication in 1940. A revival was attempted in 1943, but only a few issues were published before St. Nicholas folded once more. It was never nearly as popular as some of it's competitors. Print runs were merely 100,000 (compared to half a million and more) by the time this one was printed. Survivors are scarce enough to make read more
