The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls is not what anyone would call a happy book, being that it is equal parts the autobiography of a woman's time in a monstrously incompetent and unpleasant psyche ward and the fictional story of a poor Victorian girl's time in a Bedlam House that would put Arkham Asylum to shame. That said, there are still genuinely funny moments throughout. Emilie ranting about the injustice of only having a crayon to write with in her early diary entries, ending with the glorious "A pox on crayons" always makes this trope giggle
    • Bi-Polar Bear. That is all.
