List of early-20th-century British children's magazines and annuals

A variety of magazines and annuals for children were published in Britain from the mid-19th century onwards. Many of the periodicals produced their own annuals, which sometimes shared the name of the magazine exactly, as Little Folks or changed the title slightly, as in the case of the Boy's (and Girl's) Own Paper, which became the Boy's (or Girl's) Own Annual.
