Boy Meets Girl, Boy Does Girl! Then Boy Meets Another Girl! Those Naughty Victorians and Their Irrepressible Urges Are Frankly Displayed in the Fourth Volume of the "Classic" Victorian Magazine of Erotica! Totally uninhibited, delightfully erotic and long-suppressed, the Oyster was written anonymously and privately distributed. Revived in the 1970s, the Oyster went on to become a bestseller in our time, a classic work whose style and descriptions are so frank they still have the power to shock and compel 21st century readers.
