The Greyfriars Holiday Annual for 1941


1940

Greyfriars Holiday Annual


The Holiday Annual 1941 was published by the Amalgamated Press in September 1940. It cost 6/-, had 234 pages, and a cover by R. J. Macdonald. Although its page count was significantly less that the 360 pages of the first Holiday Annual, it was more than twice as thick, being printed on thick coarse paper due to war time paper shortages. It was reprinted in facsimile form by Howard Baker Press in 1979.
