Travels To Merryland

August 27, 2023

by Roger Pheuquewell, Esq.

(Containing a Topographical, Geographical and Natural History of that Country.)

Imagine if Christopher Columbus, Marco Polo, Sir Richard Burton, Francis Drake, James Cook or Walter Raleigh had written in their travel accounts about the erotic landscapes they traversed. Well, that’s what the anonymous intrepid explorer has done with Travels to Merryland.

This satirical travelogue was first published in England 1740 and with Swiftian wit, it describes the female sexual anatomy as a metaphor of geography and natural history. This lovely guidebook is a must-have for the armchair adventurer, as well as timid explorers who dream of female parts unknown. Students of natural history and budding geographers will discover many hidden delights within these pages.

***This edition also includes a never-before-published map of the country***

Selected Erotic Poems by Charles Baudelaire

November 15, 2021

Translated into English by R J Dent

Charles Baudelaire’s decadent erotic poems caused a scandal when they first appeared in 1857. Both author and publisher were prosecuted for unveiling works that were ‘an insult to public decency’, and six poems in the collection were suppressed.

These so-called indecent works (banned in France until 1949) were: Lesbos; Condemned Women: Delphine and Hippolyta; Lethe; To One Who Is Too Happy; Jewels; and The Metamorphosis of the Vampire— and all are included in this Pocket Erotica edition, plus 20 more.
