Cricket Magazine Cricket Magazine Group began with the launch of CRICKET® in 1973. Marianne Carus, founder and Editor-in-Chief, was determined to create a literary children’s magazine that would appeal to a child’s intellect and imagination. She insisted upon publishing only the highest quality children’s literature and selected world-class illustrators to produce the art accompanying the stories. According to Carus, “The way to create in children a love of reading and an appreciation of good writing is to offer them beautifully illustrated, lively, well-written, interesting stories, sustaining a witty tone and a sense of humor. I am convinced that children will respond to quality if it’s not forced upon them, but presented in an engaging manner.” more
