The Monthly Packet was an English magazine published between 1851 and 1899,[1] founded by members of the Oxford Movement to counter Anglo-Catholic extremism.
It was strongly influenced by its first editor, the novelist Charlotte Mary Yonge, with aims of providing instruction, entertainment and improvement.
The Monthly Packet of Evening Readings for Younger Members of the English Church, as shown in "The Introductory Letter" in Volume 1, was targeted at middle and upper-class Anglican girls.
The Monthly Packet was the first periodical to publish Lewis Carroll's short stories, which were later compiled into A Tangled Tale.
She combined editing The Monthly Packet with writing novels, biography, history, school textbooks, and pieces for her magazine.
