** Summary: A young maiden, Bella, and her boyfriend Charlie consummate their passion under the moonlight, shrouded in petticoats. Little do they know that an Abbot has been watching them who then blackmails Bella over the sight he has witnessed, enslaving her into a world of sexual subservience and submission. Narrated by a voyeuristic flea, who uses his size to avenge Bella's misfortune, it reveals the sordid details of the Abbot's inner sanctum. **Author: 'The Autobiography of a Flea' was first published in 1887 in London, anonymously. However, it later transpired that Stanislas de Rhodes, a London lawyer (1857 - 1932) called to the (Inner Temple) bar in June 1881 had authored it. One of his other famous works is 'The Petticoat Dominant, or Woman's Revenge: The Autobiography of a Young Nobleman as a Pendant to Gynecocracy' ** Adaptations: Modern inspirations include a film directed by one of the first female pornographic directors from the 1970s. Starring the inimitable John C Holmes, it is recognised as a classic example of the x-rated genre ** Mentions: In Ian Fleming's Goldfinger, The Autobiography of a Flea is discovered by James Bond in Goldfinger's bedside table.
