Where did the Victorian boy go for answers to embarassing problems, advice on caring for his sick parrot, or the recipe for invisible ink? The Boy's Own Paper, first published in 1879 by the Religious Tract Society as an antidote to 'Penny Dreadfuls', received thousands of such enquiries every month. Arranged by topic - sports, pets, health, careers etc - the answers to boys' letters (BOP never printed the letters) provide an entertaining glimpse of late Victorian boys' concerns and how adults dealt with them.
