The Magnet was a British weekly boys' story paper that ran from 1908 to 1940. Each issue contained a long school story about the boys of Greyfriars School, and the most famous Greyfriars character was Billy Bunter. The stories were written under the pen-name of "Frank Richards." The vast majority of the stories were written by author Charles Hamilton, although substitute writers were sometimes used when he could not supply copy. Most issues also included a shorter serial story, and many issues also included a newspaper ostensibly produced by the characters themselves and called the Greyfriars Herald. These parts of the paper were not written by Charles Hamilton. The present volume contains facsimiles of the following nine issues is the Magnet: 495,499,500, 506, 509, 512, 514, 515 and 516.
