Abstract

Chums was a weekly paper for boys that first appeared in 1892. It was best known for publishing pirate stories, including an 1894 re-publication in serial form of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island (1883). Its weekly papers were gathered into annual editions, which featured decorative crimson covers.
