Welcome to The Fanny Fern Library, where wit has a sharp point, sentiment has a backbone, and respectable society is seldom allowed to pass without inspection.

Here you’ll hear Fanny Fern’s books read in full: stories of women, work, marriage, money, motherhood, mischief, sorrow, and the absurdities people commit in the name of propriety. Come for the nineteenth-century charm; stay for the observations that sound suspiciously modern.

Draw up a chair. Fanny has something to say.Public domain

    Ginger-Snaps Chapter 10 - A Bid for an Editorship
    21 Sep 2026
    In which a spirited lady muses with charming wit on the fanciful notion of becoming an editor, picturing her domain as a sanctuary of frankness, whimsy, and unorthodox rules that would both amuse herself and challenge societal norms. She fancifully sketches an office kept in deliberate disarray, a staff indulging in leisure beneath stormy skies, and a paper unyielding to threats, all conducted under the guise of feminine grace and bold freedom.
