He established several other religious publications and was responsible for founding churches schools and hospitals in Battersea. In 1866 he moved to St Andrew Derby and set to work with publisher William Macintosh to produce Chatterbox, a weekly paper for older children. Chatterbox was one of the most popular English publications for children. It was first published December 1, 1866. Unlike other best remembered English children's publications, Chatterbox was designed to appeal to boys and girls. Clarke conceived Chatterbox as a weekly paper for children, and was primarily a story annual in which the content varied over time. There were, however, puzzles, poems, interesting facts, and a variety of interesting activities. Chatterbox was lavishly illustrated, especially after the turn of the 20th century when the technology for lothographic printing improved." Size: Quarto. Book.
