The lives of distinguished men or women have always been accounted public property, and, in narrating that of Fanny Fern, we have confined ourselves to simple facts, leaving the fancy-pictures to be filled up by others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn giving selections from her “Beauties,” we present the reader with a bouquet of “Ferns,” all freshly gathered. In so doing, we have infringed on no one’s copy-right; the sketches having been copied, in every instance, from the papers to which they were originally contributed. A large proportion of them have never before appeared within the covers of a book. These latter are the very articles upon which Fanny made her reputation. We have given quotations which do justice to every variety of her versatile style. One page flashes with the keen edge of satire, another brims over with mirth, and a third is tearful with pathos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have shown Fanny at home, on the street, and in church, and have thus furnished a key which will unlock many of the mysteries of “Ruth Hall,” and “Fern Leaves.”","brand":"Denise Henry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071113740528,"sku":"2940015922998","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015922998","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
