註釋Humor on every page, plus mystery, sex and outrageous events set in London, England at a time when London was becoming financial centre of the world. The story begins on 1st January 1818 when Fanny (Charles Lesley Featherstonhaugh), looking for something productive to do with his life decides his calling is to solve the crimes and mysteries perplexing the lives of gentlefolk. Many funny adventures result. Author/actor/director Stephen Fry found this book so funny he laughed out loud while reading it despite being on a train and normally preferring keep public scenes to a minimum. The events occur at a time when much that shapes our lives today was in embryonic development, financial institutions, scientific and technological advances, for example the computer by Fanny's best friend, Charles Babbage.
