{"product_id":"2940157119010","title":"Fern Leaves from Fanny's Portfolio, series 1 and 2","description":"Two collections of essays by the most popular woman writer in 19th-century America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Fanny Fern\" was Sara Payson Willis (1811-1872). Escaping a bad second marriage, and with two children to support, Sara turned to writing. She soon became one of the most highly paid authors in 19th-century America; three years after her first essay was published, Sara was hired to write one essay a week for the New York Ledger for the unheard-of sum of $100 per column. Alternately humorous, satiric, and sentimental, her pieces cover the range of 19th-century American life, from the death of children to the delicate subterfuges of a widow eager to remarry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFern Leaves from Fanny's Portfolio gathers many of the newspaper pieces in two collections; since each volume has the same title, they're referred to as \"series one\" and \"series two.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ebook includes transcriptions of the first editions of each collection, with page numbers and original spelling and with transcriptions of 16 notices and reviews.","brand":"merrycoz books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075317580016,"sku":"2940157119010","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157119010_p0.jpg?v=1764091611","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157119010","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
