Here is yet another beautifully produced book from The Porcupine's Quill press. This attractive little volume features the work of artist Florence Vale (born 1909). Twenty-one of Vale's drawings are reproduced here, for the most part frankly erotic in subject. Vale's pen-and-ink drawings are elegant and whimsical, and the volume is enhanced by three attractive watercolours in pastel tones. The artwork is accompanied by fifty short poems by the artist, witty amorous ditties, naughty limericks, and poems celebrating sexual desire, which complement the drawings. This tasteful erotica, distinctive in its feminine point of view, is intended for an adult audience.
