FANNY HILL

FANNY HILL by John Cleland <P> Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland (1709-89) published in 1748 is a classic of English erotica. This edition contains the whole of Cleland's infamous book which has been banned and prosecuted a number of times (including in the U.S.A. and Britain). It was finally published fully in the 1960s. It has been adapted in cinema and television many times. Fanny Hill is a beautifully written work lyrical and down-to-earth as well as undoubtedly erotic. It still retains its controversial power. Above all it is a pleasure to read. <P> Illustrated by Paul Avril (1843-1928) one of the great modern erotic artists with the illustrations Avril produced for the 1908 edition of Fanny Hill. <P> Illustrations & bibliography. 200pp. <P> ISBN 9781861713612. www.crmoon.com
