Frank Richards : [stories in the Magnet]

[Lionel Fraser dreamt unfulfilledly of Oxbridge]: 'Whatever resentment he may have felt was mollified by the Gem and Magnet, which "brought brightness into my rather humdrum existence, giving me an insight into the hitherto unknown life of upper-class children". Making sense of the school slang and rituals was not easy but Tom Merry and Harry Wharton "became my idols and I longed to be like them".'
