Folly As It Flies is a book written by Fern, Fanny. It is a collection of satirical essays that take aim at various societal norms and behaviors. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different topic. Some of the topics covered in the book include the role of women in society, the absurdity of fashion trends, and the hypocrisy of politicians. Throughout the book, Fern uses humor and wit to highlight the ridiculousness of these topics and to encourage readers to think critically about the world around them. The title of the book, Folly As It Flies, is a reference to the idea that foolishness and absurdity can appear suddenly and unexpectedly, much like a bird in flight. Overall, Folly As It Flies is a witty and thought-provoking collection of essays that will appeal to anyone who enjoys satire and social commentary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
