Anonymous. Ex-“It,” with Guilty Acknowledgements to Ex-Wife, Ex-Husband, Ex-Mistress—in which Fanny Hill Tells All. Fifth Printing. 1930. Book and dust jacket are both in very good minus condition—jacket shows a few tiny chips and small edge tears. Illustrated by L.F. Grant.
The erotic life of Fanny Hill has enthralled readers for over two and one half centuries. This version was a complete reinterpretation, in which the character is transplanted to flapper-era United States. Like in the original, the story is told from the point of view of the heroine, as she ponders such questions as, “Ah, Nature, where the hell are your manners?” Risqué by 1920s standards, the book is simply amusing today. Style and manner take precedence over vulgarity. With ten b & w illustrations.
