FANNY REMOVAL LEAVES OPENING FOR JANE

In its ongoing drive to reduce expenditure in 2019, Froghill Library is rotating, rather than renewing, the stock on its shelves. 

Spokeswoman Lyndsey Spalding said: “Our first substitution, in which the Phillip K. Dick novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was replaced with The Final Refuge by Paul Capon, proved highly popular, with over one person borrowing the Capon title.

“Consequently, from next Monday, John Cleland’s 1748 erotic novel Fanny Hill will be replaced with Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, which appeared almost a century later, in 1847.”
