Gen fundaes...

This mag was founded by George Newnes. It was started in 1891. The sole claim to fame for this mag is that Sherlock Holmes short stories first appeared in this mag and therefore its circulation grew bigger. While at its peak, a picture drawn by Queen Victoria appeared in this mag. Popular authors who contributed to this mag include Agatha Christie, P.G. Wodehouse, Rudyard Kipling and even Winston Churchill. Even after all this, the mag dropped out of favour around the 50s. Name this mag.

PS: Junta, IIT Open is around the corner...put enthu...put more qs. :-P

Spot on..its the Strand Magazine!!!
