The People's Friend Special Magazine

9 February 2022

The People's Friend Special - Issue 221 - Spring is just around the corner, and our new Special is packed with reading to celebrate the season, with 14 new short stories and a gripping eight-page mystery by H. Johnson-Mack set in 12th-century France. With snowdrops blooming across the UK, David McVey celebrates this favourite flower, while Dianne Boardman heads further afield on a trip to Adelaide in South Australia. Bill Gibb discovers the great work being done by gardening charity Thrive, Gillian Harvey marvels at the amazing photographs of an underwater world taken by Ross McLaren, and Willie Shand explores the history of Scotland’s droving roads. Plus we have thrifty recipes and a child’s cardi to knit, and lots more, too!
