(Frederick) Baled Hay: A Drier Book than Walt Whitman's "Leaves o' Grass" Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "Baled Hay: A Drier Book than Walt Whitman's 'Leaves o' Grass'" by Bill Nye is a humorous collection of essays written in the late 19th century. The book presents a comical look at various aspects of life, relationships, and societal quirks through the lens of satire and wit. With a focus on everyday situations, Nye introduces readers to eccentric characters and amusing anecdotes that aim to entertain while simultaneously reflecting on human nature. The opening portion of the work introduces us to Harry Bevans, a bashful man hopelessly in love with Fanny Buttonhook, and the writer, who takes on the role of a clandestine amanuensis for their correspondence. As the writer crafts letters back and forth between the two, the tension of young love is comically contrasted with Harry’s bashfulness and Fanny’s playfulness. This sets the tone for the delightful and absurdities that follow, as Nye combines personal reminiscence with social commentary, showcasing his unique ability to find humor in the mundane trials of romance and communication.
