A truly remarkable and special magazine collection, colouring the timeless world of children’s books and reading. Founded in 1924 by Bertha Mahony Miller, each magazine features a unique illustration as the frontispiece, borrowed from a well-known illustrator. The magazines also feature spring, summer, fall and winter booklists, reviews, poems, recommendations, views on science books, advertisements and classifieds, as well as notes on contributors and letters to the editor, providing a plethora of wisdom and knowledge on the art of children’s book writing and reading. Erik C. Haugaard and his wife Myrna, who once owned this personal collection, both made valuable contributions to numerous volumes.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The Horn Book Magazine, founded in Boston in 1924, is the oldest bimonthly magazine dedicated to reviewing children’s literature. It began as a “suggestive purchase list” prepared by Bertha Mahony Miller and Elinor Whitney Field, proprietresses of the country’s first bookstore for children, The Bookshop for Boys and Girls. Opened in 1916 in Boston as a project of the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union, the bookshop closed in 1936, but The Horn Book Magazine continues in its mission to “blow the horn for fine books for boys and girls” as Mahony wrote in her first editorial.

In each bimonthly issue, The Horn Book Magazine includes articles about issues and trends in children’s literature, essays by artists and authors, and reviews of new books and paperback reprints for children. Articles are written by the staff and guest reviewers, including librarians, teachers, historians and booksellers. The January issue includes the speeches of the winners of the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award, and each July issue includes the same from the winners of the year’s Newbery Medal and Caldecott Medal. The Fanfare list, published in December, is the editors’ selection of the best children’s and young adult books of the year.[3] No lists were published from 1941 to 1945, or 1955 to 1958.
