Publisher's Synopsis

Further Foolishness is a collection of humorous essays written by Stephen Leacock, a Canadian author and economist. The book is a sequel to his previous work, Nonsense Novels, and features a similar style of satirical storytelling. Leacock uses his wit and clever wordplay to poke fun at various aspects of society, including politics, education, and human nature. The essays are short and easy to read, making them perfect for a quick laugh or a light-hearted escape from the stresses of everyday life. The book is a classic example of Canadian humor and is beloved by readers around the world.Pshaw, I missed the others, but never mind; flick, flick, it's beginning--What's this? A bedroom, eh? Looks like a girl's bedroom--pretty poor sort of place. I wish the picture would keep still a minute--in Robinson Crusoe it all stayed still and one could sit and look at it, the blue sea and the green palm trees and the black footprints in the yellow sand--but this blamed thing keeps rippling and flickering all the time--Ha! there's the girl herself--come into her bedroom. My! I hope she doesn't start to undress in it--that would be fearfully uncomfortable with all these people here. No, she's not undressing--she's gone and opened the cupboard.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
