"Voluptuous, Exciting, Amorous and Delighting" Kate Percival, a self-proclaimed lady of pleasure, recounts her tale of sexual discovery with rousing effect; from her first embraces with fellow convent student Laura, to espying the motions of Father Clark and student Margaret from behind doors ajar. From the touch of a young man, to becoming the Governess and lover for one older. She thrills at her own wantonness, and excites at the merest hint of impropriety. This little seen work of Edwardian Erotica from 1902, written pseudonymously by the main character herself, bursts at the bodice-seems with raw passion, describing all manner of alluring scenes in titillatingly graphic prose. The Belle Of The Delaware will not disappoint.
