I Remember Studying A Book For A Level English Literature In The Early 80's. All I Can Remember We Is That The Heroine Was Called Fanny. It Was A Prior Piece. I Think It Involved A Journey And It Was Quite Funny. But I Cannot Remember The The Title????

[Patient103]

Can anyone help with the name of the book please?

[woofgang]

what is a prior piece?

[Bathsheba]

Mansfield Park?

[Patient103]

I meant to say period piece! Can't find how to edit the question!

Patient - do you pass the exam? I can clearly remember titles of the books/poems etc that I studied for O level in 1959.

There was, 'Fanlight Fanny the floozy nightclub queen', but that would be more for an M.A than an A level.

Lyrics for Fanlight Fanny by George Formby
Up the West End, that's the best end, where the night clubs thrive
Down into a dive you go
There's a jazz queen, she's a has been, has been Lord knows what

Every night she's there on show
She dances underneath a magic spell
She's full of charm and beer and stout aswell
She's 66 but looks 16, her friends don't know her now her face is clean

[Bathsheba]

Best Answer for me whenever you're ready,Patient.

Baths - unlucky - went 'user_inactive' rather than add to your BA tally

[Bathsheba]

Oh nooooooooo :'( I was right though, wasn't I?

ooh I wanted to know if you were right too - I didn't think Mansfield Park was quite funny? How irritating

[Mamyalynne]

A look at the funny side here, am not well up enough on the book to know.
