The Little Pilgrim was a popular children's magazine from the 1800s in America. It was published every month from October 1853 to December 1868. A man named Leander K. Lippincott published it in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His wife, Sara Jane Lippincott, was the editor. She used the special writer's name "Grace Greenwood."
About The Little Pilgrim Magazine
This magazine was created to take the place of another children's magazine called Friend of Youth. The Little Pilgrim aimed to provide fun and educational stories for young readers.
Magazine Design and Changes
An artist named F. O. C. Darley drew the picture of a young pilgrim boy for the cover. This image helped give the magazine its unique look.
In January 1857, the magazine pages became much smaller. They were about one-third of their original height. This change happened because the publishers found the old size was "too long to fit on the book-shelves." Even though the pages were smaller, the number of pages in each issue increased. It went from 8 pages to 12 pages.
The End of The Little Pilgrim
The Little Pilgrim continued to be published until December 1868. In 1869, it joined with another children's magazine called The Little Corporal. This meant The Little Pilgrim stopped being published on its own.
