A Collection of Chums Annuals and The Best of Chums. Cassell and Amalgamated Press, circa 1920-1978 (DJ) - A collection of hardcover volumes comprising multiple annual editions of the British boys periodical Chums and one modern compilation volume. The older annual volumes feature red cloth-covered boards decorated with black stamped illustrations depicting a cowboy on a bucking horse against a pine forest backdrop. The set includes The Best of Chums, edited by Philip Warner and published by Cassell in 1978. The annuals contain serialized fiction, adventure stories, and varied illustrations characteristic of early to mid-20th-century juvenile literature. The modern volume serves as a retrospective anthology of content from the original publication.
