I think that the People's Friend magazine is fantastic read, with poems, stories, art and craft ideas and of course lovely mouth watering recipes. I await every week for the magazine to pop through my front door. My mother first introduced me to this magazine many years ago. Well done to the People's Friend !

I have been reading the People's Friends and the quarterly Specials magazine for about 30 years.
I enjoy the mix of two weekly serials and complete stories along with the regular Farmer and his wife, Riverside, and Between ourselves.
Although not a crafter I like to see the crafts showcase in the magazines, I have been encouraged to send an item in for the Love Darn.
I enjoyed the look back at stories written in the early editions of the magazine, I would like to see more.
I am a subscriber and knowing my magazines will be delivered weekly on time is a joy.

Always receive the magazine on time. Look forward to the knitting patterns as a knitter and reading the stories.

With a subscription the price per copy is OK. The only thing that I dislike is that out of every 4 copies you get, 2 are a copy from previously printed copies so if you are a long time collector you are paying twice for what you already payed for, that is my only gripe

The stories and information you put into the mag is very helpful and the stories are great. This is the only mag I read, I have read other mags but nothing is as good. Thank you People's Friend.
I hadn't realised I had written the review on my birthday.
You are most welcome.

Every month my magazine arrives with no problems. The direct debit goes through when required without issues. My all round experience is excellent.

Nothing really to report at this stage. I've only had a couple of magazines so far and both have arrived promptly with interesting articles.

Reply from DC Thomson Shop
Interesting articles - lots to read! Didn’t give five stars as frequently arriving late- after I have seen it in the shops.
