The Wisdom of Folly is a novel written by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler. The book tells the story of a young woman named Hester who is determined to find her place in the world. She is intelligent and ambitious, but she is also naive and inexperienced. Hester's journey takes her through a series of adventures and misadventures, as she tries to navigate the complexities of society and find true happiness. Along the way, she learns valuable lessons about love, friendship, and the importance of staying true to oneself. The book is a charming and entertaining read, filled with witty dialogue, memorable characters, and a touching message about the power of folly to teach us valuable life lessons.Gwynneth burst into tears. Though a very intelligent woman, she was not a wise one, and she had no smattering of the art of managing a man. Mrs. Frisby, old as she was, could have given her points on this score, and still have won in the competition; for the excellent Caroline had never been handsome enough to rise superior to feminine wiles. Gwynneth, on the contrary, was so good looking, that as a rule she did not require to manage men at all: a glance from her lovely eyes was generally enough to bring into immediate submission the most unruly of them. But in cases such as the present one, when her beauty was not enough to win the battle unaided, she had no reserve force of worldly wisdom to call to the front.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
