This brilliant collection of comic essays was first published in 1891 as a pseudonymous reply to Jerome K. Jerome's Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow. Offering a woman's take on life's preoccupations, Jenny Wren presents her droll thoughts on matters ranging from love and politics to tea and bills: "Why were such things invented?" While these witty musings offer an insight into the opinions of a woman in Victorian England, much of the satire remains as relevant today as when it was first penned.
