Fanny

The infant Fanny is discovered upon the doorstep of a great house in Wiltshire, where she grows to luscious young womanhood under the care of Lord and Lady Bellars. Circumstances force her to run away to London to "seek her fortune". On the way she falls in with witches, highwaymen, and pirates, men and women who cover the full spectrum of human virtue and vice. Forced to work in a London brothel for a time, she meets many of eh notables of her own day-from William Hogarth and Jonathan Swift to John Cleland, the notorious author of Fanny Hill. Before long she is off on a series of amazing around-the-world adventures that teach her all she must know of life to survive and prosper as a woman.
