In the 17 years since Folly first didn't hit the newstands, we've published hundreds of different features, only a handful of which are linked here. Folly's a print medium, and will stay that way. However, to give you a taste of what you'll find in Folly, we've put a few bits and pieces online: they range from a couple of pieces from the very first issue to one from no.49, the Winter 2006 issue. If you want to read more, check the Index; all back issues are available apart from the first Christmas Special.

You'll have to forgive the rather primitive layout and typeface of the early issues: back in 1990, Sue was working on an Atari 1000 PC with (hard though it may be to believe it now) precisely 1 megabyte of memory - hard disk space. You could use any font you wanted as long as it was Courier. Nor could one integrate illustrations with text: in those early issues, we photocopied pictures to a convenient size, cut around the picture shape, held it against the screen, and changed each line length to fit round it. Happy days.*

Anyway, we hope you enjoy these pieces.

*Not.
