Peoples Friend. 

A paper targeted for the more mature person's market.

 Each week showing a different scene originally by well known artist: J. Campbell Kerr, though the more recent by "Ghost Artists" It was at one stage that I myself asked to do a front cover, I submitted work and was told it was good enough, but the illness of my then paralysed sister Pat took up much of my time, Pat was taken from us on the 23rd March 2009, exactly 6 years to the day of having a massive car crash when her future son-in-law was killed, and my mother injured. A story is to be published about Pat's before during and after the illness and eventual death from septicaemia.

The People's Friend is a British weekly magazine founded in 1869 and currently published by

D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd. Its tagline is "The famous story magazine".

The magazine is principally aimed at older women and is broadly traditionalist in outlook. Each issue contains at least six self-contained short stories and two serials (frequently more), a craft project (usually knitting or sewing) and various factual articles, one of which is a piece on a particular town. Pets, family and folk traditions are also common themes.

The magazine holds an annual craft competition called "The Love Darg" (a Scots term for a day's work done without asking payment) in which readers are asked to make toys and garments suitable for children. After judging, the entries are distributed to children's charities.

The magazine's geographical location in Dundee is reflected in a general bias toward Scottish subjects. The main front cover image is invariably a painting of a pictureque location somewhere in the British Isles, and readers can also buy prints of these pictures. The paintings are made by a variety of artists but are credited to the collective pseudonym J. Campbell Kerr, which is also used for the "Round Britain" feature within the magazine.
