Nubility

Pierre Louÿs’ Les chansons de Bilitis, a tale of young lesbian love in ancient Greece, is one of the most successful literary frauds of all time, and one of the most-illustrated of French erotic texts. Today we add Gaston Barret – lots of nubile pinkness which you can see by clicking here.

Telling tales
