Rowan Pelling

I run across this book in my collection every so often, and always find myself thinking that I really should get rid of it, but can never quite bring myself to do so. It's such a lightweight collection: erotic content is tame, intellectual content is middle-brow. You could almost be reading mildly salacious items drawn from Punch or The Spectator.

But, but, but . . it's so beautifully designed, and I just can't resist the cover. Back on the shelf you go, my lovely!
