Fanny Hill is an erotic novel by English novelist John Cleland. One of the most prosecuted and banned books in history. The book is written as a series of letters from Frances ‘Fanny’ Hill to an unknown woman, with Fanny justifying her life-choices to this individual. At the beginning of her tale, Fanny Hill is a young girl with a rudimentary education living in a small village near Liverpool. Shortly after she turns 15, both her parents die. Esther Davis, a girl from Fanny’s village who has since moved to London, convinces Fanny to move to the city as well, but Esther abandons Fanny once they arrive. Fanny hopes to find work as a maid, and is hired by Mrs. Brown, a woman she believes to be a wealthy lady. Mrs. Brown is in fact a madam (pimp) and intends the innocent Fanny to work for her as a prostitute. Mrs. Brown’s associate, Phoebe Ayers, shares a bed with Fanny and introduces her to sexual pleasure while establishing that her hymen is intact. Mrs. Brown plans to sell Fanny’s virginity to an ugly old man, but Fanny is repulsed by the man and struggles with him. She is saved from rape by Mrs. Brown’s maid. After this ordeal, Fanny falls into a fever for several days. Mrs. Brown, realizing that Fanny’s virginity is still intact, decides to sell Fanny’s sexual favors to the exceedingly rich Lord B., who is due to arrive in a few weeks.
