The story of Marcus Morris, founder of the much-loved British boy's magazine Eagle, read by hundreds of thousands each week, and later chief executive of the classic women's magazines: Cosmopolitan, Harpers & Queen is told here for the first time. The religious and moral framework in the children's magazines was strong but not overstated and Morris, who signed the Editor's Letter each week became as widely known as any popidol. But what a man of contrasts... usually at odds with the Church establishment, his clerical status and his beautiful actress wife did not prevent him from indulging in extra-marital affairs and his intake of alchohol and nicotine was legendary.
