"...Fanny is more than sexually stimulating: she's a complex and believable character. In many ways, she's the ideal erotic companion û uninhibited, and capable of any variation of technique, yet genuinely tender, loving, discreet û every man's dream. Share her enthusiasm and totally guiltless enjoyment of physical love. The Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure often known as Fanny Hill is one of the most celebrated erotic fictional works of all time. The reader will not find anything coarse or vulgar in the book, for it is a work of great charm and literary merit, and is essential reading for all who desire to acquire a knowledge of erotic fiction. Banned and heavily edited at various times in many countries since its first publication in 1748. Cleland is thought to have received twenty guineas from a bookseller in St Paul's Churchyard, Ralph Griffiths, for Fanny Hill which, following huge sales, is reputed to have earned Griffiths a profit of ú10,000 -a massive sum in the mid-eighteenth century. The book tells the story, in explicit terms, of a poor country girl's experiences in the bawdy houses of London of that time. . Expressed in the language of the period, Fanny Hill is a light-hearted book of considerable literary merit and must be considered essential reading for all those who desire to acquire a knowledge of erotic fiction...."
